I quite agree.
But you don't need to be able to build a Stargate from a cornflakes box and sticky backed plastic either! And in the company of Daniel and Sam, Jack is certainly trailing the field in that ability. Whilst Teal'c is obviously the platoon sergeant and therefore doesn't count (in TV circles).
What you do need to reach a Colonel (and be good at it) is a whole lot of charisma and common-all-garden sense, all generously marinated in a touch of cunning.
All this O'Neil appears to have in buckets.
But that would not make him look any less like a simpleton at first glance and in the presence of the other two. Simply makes him a bigger target.
Besides the SG1 team is short of real brains, there is no Warrant Officer 1. Who by and large are far too intelligent to get roped in!
