Know How

If you gave Isaac Newton the keys to your car and instructed him to go from point A to point B, he would have no clue. What does it mean? Intelligence does not bestow know how, and sometimes know how is essential. By that same token, know how is not an indication of intelligence, nor should it foster arrogance. This is precisely what scares me about allowing anyone with a license to drive, especially when they have no concept of the implication of F=MA.
