Does a stupid person have common sense? To you or I the Nigerian e-mail scam seems common sensically fraudulent, but more people fall for it than you'd think. Do all these people lack 'common' sense? I actually think the term is sometimes fun to poke holes through, since you have to think of what makes something 'common' knowledge. Burning one's hand on a hot iron, yes... but it starts to get more fuzzy with things like the Nigerian e-mail scams.
