What is "solving skill"? Where can I get some of that? Why do the people who have it look at the people who don't with amusement, are they jerks? Should those of us without "solving skill" rise up against them? This changes EVERYTHING people!

I don't have such place ready for you, yet here I am writing to you in a language that is foreign to me. "Why do the people who have it look at the people who don't with amusement?" Because people who don't have it consistently praise the wrong thing.
