Another interpritation is, people with lots of working memory excell when allowed to work with no constraints.
They didn't detect an inversion: the 'dumber' people didn't do better than the 'smarter' people under constraints. Rather, the 'smarter' people did better compared to the 'dumber' people when there where no constraints.
(where 'smarter' = high capacity memory and 'dumber' = low capacity memory)
