Have you ever had someone who thought they were smarter than you correct you on something you were doing, even ridicule you for not knowing the first steps, and you had to sit there patiently and wait until they were done, because there was no way you could explain to them why your way was actually smarter than their way, and that you used to think like them, but you got smarter, so all you can do is smile until they are done, and then go back to doing it your smart way, even though their stupider way is considered the smartest way by a whole generation of people who do it that way and who haven't learned yet what you've learned, and it's going to be years before they do, because you just figured it out, and you figure other smart people are also just now figuring it out, but it takes a long time for it to spread, and then you have to endure the realization that the dumber person who was correcting you is now talking to other dumber people and laughing about you being a stupid person who doesn't even KNOW he's stupid, because he (you) was doing XYZ, and he (the dumber guy) had to go tell you that it's supposed to be ZYX, and that in a trial by jury, most people would say that the dumber guy is the smarter guy, because they don't know enough to understand why what you're doing is actually smarter, and therefore did you realize that there is a paradigm shift between
Smart and Smarter, which causes less smart people to think it's
Smart and Dumber, creating a sort of theory of relativity around the word "smart" causing some people to think they see dumb people when in fact it's only their relative inability to see smarter people?
Ok... I's just wonderin'.
