Tup, technically, the statement was that she needs smart people to use her, not that using her correctly makes one smart. In other words, people who don't know or refuse to think about game mechanics are likely having trouble figuring out what to do. To me, this category is almost entirely composed of servants who don't quite fit into a solid command card type team comp, requiring those using her to really know what their options are and what may work together in order to get really good mileage out of her. For example, if you jammed her into a quick team, she'd under perform. Yeah, she works but she won't perform particularly amazingly. Instead, you'd need to do mechanic synergy which is a little more advanced than jamming matching command cards. No different than, say, Moriarty (because arts, evil doesn't work that great) or prebuff MHXA (because in a quick team, her lack of a third normal quick card harms snowballing a bit and being a zerk makes it hard for her to get stars) who require you to examine the servant pool, then think about what will make them work. Of course, it is not hard to create an operating team usually due to the presence of support. You just figure out a setup that requires a servant you already have or one you can easily get, then support for the other.
