I had a Econ professor in college who explained the difference to me:

Smart is knowing the math, the data; Wisdom is knowing how to communicate what you think the data says. Then b willing to adjust.

He made a great living, and I helped in my limited way, in being a communications portal for really, really smart people to get their ideas heard and, more importantly, funded.

Edit: He has another Bon Mot I remember: Smart is knowing how to structure the experiment, wisdom is learning what the experiment really means.

I have not thought of this guy for a decade. What a smart and wise person he was.
