There are many good reasons for being rejected. If a person answers all the questions honestly, they may or may not be selected. Far too many people are willing to lie to keep their lives from being interrupted. What's left isn't stupid people, it's mostly honest people. I never want to serve, but I'm honest and do my civic duty. Where I live, we get summoned about once every 2-3 years, and I've been on several juries. Our juries are not filled with dumb-asses. My experience, and that of family and friends, is that nearly all jurors are honest and thoughtful.
