   So... you're saying it's fine to yap on your cellphone
while driving -- or even while taming lions or mountain climbing --
because accidents are directly connected to low intelligence.
And you're most decidedly not a moron. You're a genius, by
virtue of your science degree.

  And you're also a fatalist? All accidents are predestined. And
somehow destiny has ruled that scientists don't get into accidents.
Rather, accidents are Fate's way of punishing dumb people.

   That helps explain why you think that it's not dumb to ride a
motorcycle: You have a science degree that prevents you from
being hit by a truck. Now that you've clarified your logic, even
halfwits like me can understand it.
