Intelligence won't matter here.

Software design doesn't have a formal theory that defines optimal design and there isn't any empirical evidence either.

We know the shortest distance between two points because we have a formal theory that defines it. Because software design has no such thing, everyone is making shit up.

Doesn't matter how intelligent you are. If the thing that's being designed can't be quantified it's the wild west. Those brains are focused on optimizing things we have no idea how optimize and things we can't even measure.
