Qwerty, exactly. Learning gemorah with mefoirshim for many years, like Arso he claims he did, does not automatically make a person intelligent IF it they are not learning it correctly. For example, the Lubavitchers who claim their rebbe is alive and coming back as the moshiach, that their rebbe is running the world, etc. obviously are learning gemorah and meforshim wrong. Just like Shabsi Tzvi was a big “talmid chachom” . His followers included tamidei chachumim and rabbis but they were wrong because they learnt pshat wrong, they were blinded by all the noise made by Shabsi Tzvi.
