I’m pretty sure there’s a word for the smart cow but I can’t remember what it is. My recollection of the example is you could have 100 cows in an enclosure with an easily accessible latch and they’ll all happily stay inside, but every so often you’ll get one cow who is smart enough to understand how to open the mechanism and then they’ll all rush out. The smart cow will continue to open the latch and cause trouble but once it’s removed (presumably to roam free in a field?) the rest will go right back to business as usual as if the gate can’t be opened.
Now that I type it out they may as well call them Marxists.

It was smart, so it graduated from Bovine University.
