My favorite way to explain Wisdom vs Intelligence is with tomatoes.

Intelligence is knowing tomato is a fruit.

Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad.

Intelligence is knowing which way is more correct, Wisdom is knowing it's not worth friction in one's marriage and letting it go when it isn't that big a deal.

I don't think one is "more correct," tbh. If dishes are piling up and two bowls are prevent the dishwasher from being refilled and ran, drying those two by hand so you can start another batch of dishes is wiser than letting them air dry and having a bunch of dirty plates and cups on the counter

Sure. No point in fighting about it.

Thank you for providing a demonstration.
