I think the issue with "dumb bodybuilders" is commenting on the fact that while many people would want to look like one, they wouldn't necessarily want to experience a bodybuilder's health (with some exceptions). It's sort of a values issue: getting strong vs. getting healthy. It's certainly possible to have one without the other.
As far as my values are concerned, I like a reasonable degree of functional strength, like being able to do at least 20 push-ups and lift heavy items overhead. But I find Bruce Lee's build more appealing than Arnie's.
