I did once meet a couple of Imperial students on the Circle line on
their way from Gloucester Road to High St Ken... having walked from
Imperial to Gloucester Road to catch the Tube because they didn't know
the way to Kensington High St on foot! Some scientists have no common
sense...

Not just scientists!
There does seem to be some sort of level playing field, those that are
intelligent tend to lack common sense and those less blessed with
intelligence tend to be more savvy.
