I knew you were using it wrong.

I am stunned by how far our educational system has fallen.

I have the power to assume the obvious.  I also have the power to punch
myself in the face.

It's the ability to think that keeps me from doing either.

Hmm.  And yet, you say you want to make a game.  You seem to think that
you're magically gonna be able to do this without studying.  I don't think
so.

Fact is, I've known people six sigmas out on the high end who needed to
study stuff to use it.  And big fish in a little pond though you may be,
there's no way you're convincing me you're above genius level.
