Yeah, the stupid ones get caught pretty easily. A professor at our local university was caught storing CP on a university network share.

How the fuck did they even become a professor? I mean even school student in 8th grade would not be so stupid to put regular porn on their school or home network share.

You're highly overestimating the intelligence requirements to become a professor.

Also, being well informed on a specific topic doesn't mean you're smart. My HS valedictorian is the dumbest person I've ever met. But, she was able to regurgitate information on tests without actually understanding any of it.

Why wouldn't they be able to? It's not like they walk around with brands on their foreheads that proclaim what they are, and most of them are regular people in the other aspects of their lives.

We had a guy at an old job who kept changing the permissions on his data to remove administrator access because he thought that would work. He wasn't an idiot generally, he just didn't understand how computers worked.
