Why do we always act like brain surgeons are any smarter than -- well any other type of surgeon?
It seems to me it is mostly a dexterity thing. Much like a good butcher.
Don't get me wrong. I am not trying to put down brain surgeons, I just think their job is less brain power and more physical performance.
