What does the number of women in science or business have to do with smartness?

Most businesses are pretty stupid, if you think about it - buy cheap sell high, or produce something people need.

As for science, it's mostly tedious research by poor PhD students with professors taking most of the credit. Occasionally there's a breakthrough, a cause for celebration (and hopefully real world application).
