From Dictionary.com, second entry
Idiot
A person of profound mental retardation having a mental age below three
years and generally being unable to learn connected speech or guard against
common dangers.
I would say based on this, someone could top-post and not be an idiot.
The first entry was "A foolish or stupid person".
This probably more along the lines of what you were talking about. But even
using that criteria I would say that one could top-post and fail to meet
this standard.
