The American Myth is that anyone can acheive anything through hard work and determination. It's not that Smart People Get Ahead. This was so ingrained in the culture that they used to write articles about how weird it was that Microsoft's hiring process was designed to get smart people. It doesn't help that Bill Gates is America's Nerd, but for every statement of how smart he is there are three about what a kook he is. America doesn't like smarts.
