Well that's splitting hairs.
Of course you did not know them personally so how could you judge.
But obviously they were thought of as wise men so I wouldn't quibble with that. They found Jesus didn't they? And they didn't tell Herod where he was exactly so they were also discerning.

wise --- having the power of discerning and judging properly as to what is true or right; possessing discernment, judgment, or discretion.

In earlier posts when I used the term wise, it was in the above sense.

wise --- possessed of or characterized by scholarly knowledge or learning; learned; erudite.

One can be wise in the second sense without being wise in the first sense. That is what I was trying to get across when I said that I did not know if they were wise men. As magi they were obviously learned.

Well, that makes it clearer. Thanks!
