* "intelligent" is the intellectual capacity one is born with
* "stupid" is the failure to use that intellectual capacity
I know plenty of very intelligent people who have been quite stupid at times. I know that while I may have adequate intelligence I've certainly been stupid more than once (or maybe even twice).

I call those people skilled instead of intelligent.
Sure, the "stupid" is effectively "unintelligent" in that context (unless I'm being stupid here ;-)
My point is that even intelligent people can be incredibly stupid and Dunning-Kruger can still apply (because they know they are intelligent and are too arrogant to question their positions)
