Frank, not sure if you're interested but we actually
employ people like this. Combination of quite bright but
no sense at all and very immature. Over the years we have
developed a strategy - something like this:

Keep separated from others and allow them to plod away at
the clever stuff, steering where necessary in such a way
that whatever becomes their own idea.
Listen to what they say in case amidst the nonsense
something useful emerges. If nothing does just humour them
politely without rising, control constructive argument but
avoid futile debate. This is all rather a black art.

We tend to find most begin to catch on and we can all look
back and laugh at their former ways. The first tangible
sign is when they start learning how to listen (can be a
new concept for them), the transformation is satisfying to
watch. But some never will, for these and similar who
cross our path, we give a gesture of dismissal - of the
ancient kind.
