dmigtysolomon, It isn't about whether I am intelligent or not. Responding to you does not make me intelligent or otherwise. It's not about feeling young or old either.
I will not change my views just by knowing that you hobnob with preteen kids or 80+ elders. Even if you were surrounded by Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, that too would not give me a reason to change my views about you. My views are entirely based on your arguments and how you add weight and lend reality to them by using logic, common sense and good judgment.
There is a Persian proverb which says "A donkey, even if it was Christ's, would not become Haji, after he had visited Makkah." In simple words, association with great people does not necessarily make one great. One needs to have a capacity.
Let's get back to the question you raised and my last post in response to that. Do you have a say on it?
