I always believed it meant that if someone thought of as stupid did things that turned out not to be stupid, then perhaps they weren't stupid after all. Remember, it's Forrest Gump speaking.
i would say that it means that person is not stupid, his acts r... example scientist is in his work all day, going home, thinking of new formulas and didnt sow red light on crossing... he keep on walking and... BANG car hit him... u see he is not stupid, but his act was!
lil morbid example but i houpe it worked ...
p.s. he is ok now ) the scientist ...

Add yourself to Hypography's Frappr. "There are only 10 kinds of people in the world --
.....Those who understand binary, and those who don't."
"Draw no conclusions before their time."
I think it means you don't know someone is stupid, until you see them do something stupid. From then on, you consider them stupid. Moreover, stupid means incapable of learning by experience wheras ignorant means one simply doesn't know.__An ignorant person may learn, a stupid person not.
