what people consider to be "intelligence" isn't about doing l33t maths, its about self-doubt. This enables us to mitigate against our cognitive biases and instinctual impulses and accept truth, which leads to more useful outcomes.
All that buying a calculator does, is allow you to do bad sums more quickly.
