Even highest IQ single man can have is small when compared with capacity of few people combined into a good problem solving process.
Two people with IQ 120 can be smarter than one with 210. Not to mention if they all use computers.

But of course that's not necessarily correlated with IQ.
I think there is a number of 1.2x programmers that you would prefer to hire instead of single 2.1x programmer. For all activities there's a number like that and it's pretty low.
Not mention you're contradicting Heinlein, and we all know that's never good.
Apart from that Eintein was not the most intelligent man that ever lived. He was smart enough man at the right point in history. Genius, but not thanks to his capacity but to his achievements.
I'm not sure what you mean by "contradicting Heinlein". The Starship Troopers Heinlein? ;-)
