If SUPER dumb people are wrong 99% of the time, does that make them as valuable as geniuses?

All sensory data is generated in and known by the brain. How does it create the fake distorted experience of certain events?

Here is an example. You stub your toe. This causes nerves to send a signal to the brain which causes a sensation of pain. But the brain uses illusion to project the sense of pain downwards from itself and where the pain is known, to feel as if it is literally happening in your toe.

Another example. Your entire visual field is generated by your brain. It tricks you into being unable to grasp that your body and the image around it is one image... Similarly, the sense of touch is given an illusory sense of space in general (like the stubbed toe) so that we feel confined within our body, within an image that is entirely its own construction.
