How many Ph.D's. do you know that ARE actually bright? Not many, although they are very smart within their area of expertise.
An expert, on the other hand, is someone who knows more and more about less and less. For example, most people know that a Bachelor of Science degree, a B.S., denotes Bull Schiff, and M.S. is More Schiff, while a Ph.D. means Piled Higher and Deeper.
Now that is an oldie and I resemble that remark! I was smart enough to skip the MS and go straight for the Ph.D in the biological sciences. Fortunately my experiences in the real world stretched from biology to business and knowledge gained during my travel around various parts of the world were more useful than the Ph.D. One thing I learned for sure was to distrust "projections" based on faulty statistics!
