"Smarter than them" doesn't mean you are smart yourself.
If you were smart, you'd already know that, but you aren't.
For an example even you ought to be capable of understanding:
Today "is warmer than" this time last week.
Is it warm out? No it's -7C, but last week it was -21C.
See it? How "warmer than" is true, but that doesn't make it "warm outside".
Ok? Cool.
