Living proof that
IQ is, in practicality, useless, or, more to the point,
it's not how big it is but how you use it. If she's so
smart, what has she
invented,
created, or
done to better the
world? All that
potential and all she does is run an
advice column and spew out
answers without much backing-up, and quite often,
incorrect. What a waste.
Cecil Adams hates her for many of the same reasons. He doesn't need an arbitrary standardized test to show that he has actual intelligence. Yeah, he runs a similar sort of newspaper column, but he actually gives a full treatment to every question he answers, he doesn't make up shit, he backs up his facts with research, and he's actually witty and creative in the way he responds as well. He answers questions, rather than answering advice, and he doesn't stoop to stupid logic puzzles which third-graders can answer. (The only logic puzzle I've ever seen him run, actually, was a very complicated geometry proof.)
