very interesting. Most of the truly brilliant people that I have met are rarely adamant about their positions. Not to say that they have no stance but they know that they have an incomplete information  set and can acknowledge that they can't possibly have all possible information on a topic stored in their brain.

They will have a sense where to find it, and the capacity to understand it when they do.

Unlike the idiots who strap on a feedbag.

The simple questions have been answered multiple times.   As well as the links I provided you years ago and you still have in your database.  Ya know, where you got the citation.

"Find it" infers that they do not have the information stored away. It takes time to find information and digest it. A truly smart person acknowledges this lag and so does not insist on being right. Not so smart people do not take the time to digest information and question it. Just because something agrees with my sensibilities does not mean it is valid.

Some people process and synthesize information much faster than others.

No, it hasn't. 

The correct answer requires 1 keystroke.

Far fewer than your excuses.

I am far from a know it all.  There are certain topics where I am very well informed.  But, I am not like you.  I don't jump on as many threads as possible and act like a SME.  I even admit when I don't now enough about something.

Are there not different types of brilliance? Here is where I am going with this. There is intelligence.  There is agenda. Then, there is hidden or private agenda. And, moving further to the dark side, there is insanity.  None of these are mutually exclusive.

In your concept of brilliance, a highly intelligent person will typically focus their attention attempting to uncover and define some unknown, fundamental truth or set of truths, knowing if/when he does this, there will be even deeper questions he simply cannot answer.  This is what I call obvious brilliance, maybe even a know-it-all, or perhaps even someone who knows that he does not know everything.  Either way, they are quite similar.

What happens when you mix brilliance with insanity? You get a woman who manipulates her husband to commit heinous murders.  Charlene Gallego, a violin prodigy and nymphomaniac with an IQ of 160, orchestrated the kidnapping and murder of at least 11 people, some as young as 13 and most of them female.  She intentionally married a real piece of work for a husband - but she knew what she was doing. She focused her husband on kidnapping and sexually assaulting girls, of course she was highly involved as well; then they eventually murdered them.  Charlene and her husband were eventually caught. But, Charlene had planned for that too. She claimed she was a victim too, agreed to testify against her husband and, as a result, only received a 17-year prison sentence. She has been "free" since 1997.
 
If you ever conversed with Charlene, do you think she would come off as a know-it-all? I don't think so. Rather, I think her highly intelligent and very twisted mind would all the while be sizing you up to see if she can involve you in the commission of a heinous crime and get you blamed for it. 

I know, sick.....and brilliant.

Then go ahead and demonstrate by answering the questions correctly.

One answer will suffice for both.
