So here's an alternative theory. No human alive is much smarter than the "normally smart".

Reminds me of 'My Childhood Role Model'.

As for the actual meat of your comment, I don't have much to add. 'Smart' is a slippery enough word that I'd guess one's belief in 'super-smart people' depends on how one defines 'smart.'
