Intelligence without the proper use of information ("intel") is like a Ferrari with no fuel -- just potential, no motion.
   You can be a genius, but if you're not engaging with reality, testing ideas, or adapting to new data, you're stagnant.
   A "Stable Genius", who doesn't evolve, risks becoming a fossil -- impressive but irrelevant.
   True intelligence is dynamic, constantly refining itself through experience and new insights. Otherwise, you're just coasting on a title, not growing.
