Because they realize what they don't know & are very realistic about their capabilities.

Because that is how they became intelligent. They think they are horrible so they work for logic to get a relief.

What?

That's not true.

However, people who are both intelligent and knowledgeable on technical subjects often lose out on other aspects of life, such as understanding social dynamics.
Combine that with the fact that we project our own abilities to others, it might seem odd that nobody is trying something, and you might assume there's a reason for it. At least that's one of the things that hold me back from realizing a few things that would have been ground-breaking to some degree in my field when I was an undergrad.

Also underestimating your own abilities isn't a sign of intelligence but rather a sing that you have a flawed understanding of reality.

In this case, pretending you presume you are intelligent because you underestimate your own abilities is simply a way to elicit a response from people on this online forum.
Unlike what you think, this is trivial to do, and you only do it to cover a real and painful lack of proper socialization. You might try to mask this as a joke, but it really isn't.
