If we could just let go of the Yakubian myth that more brains = smarter, this wouldn’t be so surprising.

I mean the guy has an IQ of 70 so it’s not like he’s of normal intelligence either.

Measuring the volume of a skull was once a valid way to determine intellect. We make fun of people who believed that, but IQ is arguably a worse instrument, and certainly no better.
The problem is you can’t measure intelligence any more than you can measure charm or beauty. All instruments who claim to do so are doomed to embarrass the people who use them.
