I feel like I'm the only person in the world that thinks Edgeworth is smarter than Wright

Here's the thing I don't understand about the Ace Attorney fandom: why is it that everyone seems to think that Wright is the smart one and Edgeworth, although an intellectual equal, is emotionally constipated?

Like, I get that the "unnecessary feelings" line has everyone in a tizzy, but that's really very little evidence, and when you take into consideration the entire body of the Ace Attorney work, Edgeworth is clearly the more emotionally developed person, while Wright is pretty emotionally oblivious (both to himself and others).
