just too dumb. She's pissed away the prime years of her life, and the dream was impossible from jump.

Too dumb? There a lot of partners that aren’t all that smart.

Cr one thing I advise associates joining biglaw firms that are good but not great (like in the Vault 50-100 range) is to identify the partners who made it through sheer grinding, many of whom aren't super bright, and those who are just super smart & chill.

She doesn't meet the fairly minimal requirement. She comes off as too dumb to do client schmoozing.

True. I'm aiming to be of counsel with expert in demand subject matter expertise. Being partner seems like a pain. Have to talk to people, do collections.

Need mechanism to police defectors, e.g., senior associates beat the dude who does $350k for 2k with barsoap inside dress-socks a la FULL METAL JACKET.

All the responses to this are variations on hey you don't have to be all that smart. That's true as far as it goes, but it is also true that being too dumb to understand or communicate about your work is a liability. The smart poasters here likely don't face this problem, but it exists.
