This town needs a new sheriff

The difference is not in question, chessdude; what is in question is whether they are necessarily exclusive characteristics in a single being.  Let's take an example dear to these forums: Fischer.  Guy was unquestionably a chess genius, right?  Yet, he wholeheartedky believed in not one, but two global conspiracies that directly impacted on him; the Soviets, and the Jews.  In that sense, he was a total idiot.

Van Gogh had a genius for aesthetics, but he cut off his own ear, and thought it would be a good idea to share a house with Gaugin.  Also, idiot.

You are making the fallacious assumption that one single trait defines a person, when humans are actually built as a mass of contradictions, and each of our personalities is subject to change according to context.  I would characterise myself as occasional smart guy, and usual cheerful idiot.

Am I making sense?  Because I must say, this is as far as I can usually go without posting funny (?) pictures.

Okay, that makes a lot of sense.

You're still wrong though.

Just because a person does idiotic things does not mean that they are an idiot! They are insane!!! There's a difference!

Now that just doesn't make any sense.

What language is that in?

Just because you post these idiotic pictures, doesn't mean that you're an idiot.

Ugh.

Here, I'll help you out:

That was kinda the KO punch.

That cat thought I was unbeatable.
