Grades don't always prove how smart someone is. Most of my peers memorize a textbook and regurgitate it on an exam to get an A. They lack the simplest ability to solve problems not found in a textbook and because they have such a limited understanding of the concepts behind something they will forget everything in under 6 months.
If you can't get straight A's, you're not nearly as smart as you think you are.
You're right that getting A's doesn't prove much.
However, being unable to get them does prove something (whether it's lack of innate intelligence or lack of discipline is open to question).
