Intelligence can be an important tool for decision makers, but no more than that. It is up to the politicians to make wise policy...
What makes the theorem so tantalizing is that for all its fiendish difficulty to prove, it is almost absurdly simple to state. The ancient Greeks knew that the equation x (squared) + y (squared) = z (squared) could be correct if x, y and z were replaced by certain integers -- that is, ordinary nonfractional numbers.
