          He had the important (and, admittedly unrealistic) important capability of recognising that someone was smarter than himself.

          I honestly think this is the major plot hole in Idiocracy: The first thing to go would be peoples ability to recognise expertise. Thus, nobody would be willing or able to recognise that a stranger knew how to solve a problem they had no clue how to deal with. This is the real-world Idiocracy we’re seeing today.
