Nope, sorry. I'm still gonna hold to the position that you're smart.

I'm not "smart" but, rather, I am knowledgeable about things related to
computing and access for people with disabilities.  I've spent the past 15
years studying problems regarding user interfaces and people with vision
impairment as well as the access technologies and operating systems used for
these presentation models.

Anyone with a knack for software engineering and a lot of time to study can
learn what I know and sound smart as well.
