Intelligence is also knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is understanding why tomato is not an ingredient in fruit salad.

Also...
The "proof is in the pudding" is not the correct way of using the trope...
"The proof of the pudding is in the tasting" suggests that the only way to demonstrate the value, success, or effectiveness of a product or process is by putting it to the test regardless of any outward appearance or promise.

Someone that tells you "we have to sign this legislation to know whats in it"
...does NOT want you to taste the pudding.
