Sounds like Apollo Team type 1 had members with insufficiently "sharp, analytical minds" without high enough "mental ability", otherwise they would have recognized that organizational rules, behavior, and culture are very important to a team's success.
Redefining words to make vague insults doesn't actually progress discussion, and indeed can be a symptom of the very problem we're discussing - I'm better than everyone else and so their thoughts don't matter.
Intellectual and emotional skill development are very well recognised as two different spectrums these days.
Who exactly am I insulting? Regarding redefining words, I assume you are referring to the ones in quotes. I am indeed criticizing a subset of people that take a very narrow and ill-defined measure of intellect and assume everyone fits on the same buckets and has the same sort of skills. It's a particular deficiency of the corpo-science class that incestuously defines their strengths as "intelligence". It's the sort of people that haven't matured beyond "book smart".

If I try to imagine the Apollo project then I always see a group of glasses wearing (of the sixties type), white coat scientists and rocket engineers.
In reality the Apollo team counted 400.000 people. (Yes, some just made the sandwiches, but still)
My feeling is that The Apollo Syndrome is feeding of the same nostalgia.
