They might have meant to say wiser. When I was a teenager, I remember being sharper than my parents with academic subjects, but there is much more to life than that.

Lots of know-it-alls proving your point

Even if it comes to light, I have doubts anything will come of it. Look what happened with the Panama papers. Basically only Iceland did anything about it.

I think this git diff speaks for itself.

My wife linked it to me and was like “Look at how big the turnout was! Highest turnout in U.S. history!” (at 80.3%)
