So be it.
I don�t consider me to be an idiot and I think other�s opinions about
me as an idiot or not don�t count very high in my priorities. A person
with a lower IQ is usually happy with himself until "corrected" by
another person.

Wasn�t Vincent Van Gogh mentally ill? But he made lovely paintings!

Wasn't Beethoven deaf when he wrote his ninth symphony?

Why cannot an idiot write excellent code?

I somewhere read about an intelligence investigation that considered
some jungle tribe to have a lower IQ because they where not quite
familiar with the usage of a simple phone model.
