t is quite common for smart people to purposely and then habitually talk dumb.

True, remember Nelson Rockefeller? But most of 'em change their diction according to the occasion. I had an uncle (by marriage, I hasten to add) who--resentful that he hadn't had quite the career he'd wanted (though it had in fact been quite a good one) insisted on speaking ungrammatically to demonstrate that he was a "self-made man". It was exceedingly tiresome, and yes, he DID know better; I used to do acrostics with him.

If Paula really HAD known better, she'd have tried to make a good impression in her deposition.

AND: the fact that she's let herself be screwed, and NOT by Clinton, but by lawyers who tried to bring an unsustainable case, really DOES speak first for her greed, and then for her stupidity.

And these days, getting an "A" on a college paper don't mean dick, so to speak.
