I totally reject this, given the contradictory evidence which invalidates it. For one example, Dr. Francis Collins is a rather qualified scientist who does not look stupid when he comments on theology. For another example, Dr. Alister McGrath is a rather qualified theologian who does not look stupid when he comments on science. As I have said elsewhere, it is a matter of having qualifications appropriate to the field in question. When you don't possess such and disregard interacting with those who do, then you come across as stupid.
That is one opinion.
