Pretty good, and true in its way, altho like many things on HN, it just touches the surface and doesn't go further down to the core issue.
Which is:
Intelligence (capability) is not knowledge (facts), AND knowledge (facts) do not equate to wisdom (judgment).
Many people here on HN pretend to have knowledge they don't, that's true. But they also do not have or exercise wisdom, or reason.
For an example, just go back to that thread where I baited that misogynist jerk time_management into revealing his true colors.
He may have been stating facts up to that point, and people defended his statement of facts or debated their factualness, but nobody else questioned that selection of "facts" -- and the motive behind stating them.
If only other people would study the art of rhetoric.
