This generally gets rampant approval, until one adds "...such as academic disciplines or programming." Watch the love of day-to-day, commonsense skills vanish around a group of gamers or programmers when you say this.

I heard a joke once:

There once was a boy. His "friends" thought him stupid. So one day they tested it. They offered him a dime or a quarter. He chose the dime. After a couple of days they did it for fun. A man noticed the boys doing this. Once the show was over and the boys were gone he said to the "stupid" boy " You know their making fun of you right?" the boy replied "yes sir". " Well" said the man " why don't you chose the quarter and make them stop?" the boy replied " Then they'd stop giving me dimes":laugh:

As you can see some people are smarter than some people in their age group
and other age groups. Like me
