And you don't think smart people are lucky to be smart?

Considering that smart is 99% volitional, no I don't.

Where did you get that number?

From the inverse...that which is physical impairment.

So your belief is that in the absence of a rare physical impairment, anyone
can just *will* themselves to be smart? So a person with an IQ of 80 (well
within the range designated as "normal") could become a nuclear physicist,
if only she or he chose to work hard enough at it?

I realize it's almost beside the point to ask, but: do you have any evidence
to support such a belief?
