SBF is not the first person who thinks they are smarter than their lawyers. It even fits the pattern of "physics person dismissive of other fields" (e.g. https://xkcd.com/793/ https://xkcd.com/793/)!

> "physics person dismissive of other fields" This reminds me of an old physicist-lawyer joke: A physicist goes to see a lawyer. He knows that above all the lawyer is interested in getting his money. So the physicist not wanting to be taken for a sucker walks into the room and fires right away: - Hi, how much do you charge? The lawyer fires back: - $400 for two questions. What is your second question?
