In my average experience, without interviewing management teams - my observation is that the "smartest person in the room" is rarely the one deciding anything.

This also depends on your definition on "smartest".

Which the parent conveniently left out a definition of. I sort of ignored that implication and went straight to the point - which is it doesn't matter if the PM is the smartest or not. What matters is who makes the decisions and typically the PM does.
