It’s an intriguing question. You could conceivably argue for either one. Though if I woke up in the middle of the night to hear a burglar rummaging around in my living room, I know which one I’d want. I’d care much more about whether the police chief is a good shot, and whether he or she can chase down a suspect, than whether he or she got straight As in school. I’d go for street smarts every time.
