The term "intellectual elite" rubs me the wrong way. It makes me think of Mensa and other groups with too much ego for their own good. Isn't there something more neutral? "Elitism" is not a good label to be stuck with.

To me ‘elites’ means ‘high status’. But this does not necessarily correlates with ‘high competency’.
