Is it possible there were people in those labs that knew more than these geniuses, but you never noticed because they presented themselves modestly?

- m0zg 7y agoUnlikely. My bar for a "genius" is pretty high. It's actually pretty obvious when you're in a room with one - it almost feels like they're different species. Stuff that's insurmountable to you is easy as a pie to them, and they can explain it in simple terms. They couldn't care less about the fact that you weren't able to understand it on your own. And some of them present very modestly most of the time, but if you're wrong about their stuff, they won't mince words. Nor would they be humble about things to get along with you, or doubt their knowledge just because it's trendy to do so. They don't necessarily shove themselves into everyone's face.
