Do you want your brain surgeon to be THAT person who attended cram after-school programs and studied day and night?

Or do you want your brain surgeon to be THAT brilliant individual who grasped concepts easily and did not need to cram and study and struggle to grasp what they needed to learn?

I know who I would want. I have no respect for these types of questions.[/quote]

You can go ahead and take the brain surgeon who didn’t study. [/quote]

Either you know very well that that is not what the above post is saying… or you have trouble understanding what you read.

It’s saying what it’s saying: it’s comparing a person who studies with a person who is smart and didn’t need to study.

No, he’s comparing a person who has to study to an extreme extent just for a bare minimum of understanding to a person who can study and grasp concepts easily so that they have time to do other things in addition to studying. The second person, who understands easily, has a better grasp of the information than the first person who needs to study for hours and hours, and even then, has a baseline level of understanding- enough to pass a test, but not as deeply and fully as the person who is more intelligent to begin with.

I’m sorry if you don’t understand the difference.

Maybe that’s what that poster is hoping to convey, and relying on other people’s assumptions, but definitely is missing the mark on that one.

Maybe that’s pp should have studied harder and prepped more in order to learn how to correctly express him/herself.[/quote]

I easily understood what was being conveyed in the first post above here. I thought it was written well and clearly.

You can choose the doctor you want for your brain surgery. If you want the doctor who has to study for hours to pass tests rather than the brilliant physician who can study and learn material quickly and easily and so has a deep well of knowledge of how the brain and how it works, have at it. Go for the less intelligent doctor who had to study all the time to get through school. It’ll be fine…

You sound too invested to make this brilliant point. You must be the initial poster. [/quote]

No, I’m not actually. I do think it’s interesting that there are people who think that studying a lot can make an average person the same as a gifted person. 
[/quote]

How did you come to that conclusion?[/quote]
