What is the difference between a "very smart" person and a "smart, but not very" person? The example is quite illustrative and can be used to demonstrate this. A "very smart" person would understand that I misinterpreted the previous statement. Why – who knows, maybe he was in a hurry, read it carelessly, or something else... And a "very smart" person would say: "SergeyY, pay attention, it seems the conversation was about Stinger, which most likely means that he entered the dungeon after he 'lit it up,' i.e., after he saw what was inside. And you thought that 16 elves entered the dungeon without 'lighting it up'?" And that would immediately resolve all misunderstandings. There would only be 2 posts, or maybe even none at all, because it would be deleted so that no one would misunderstand anything. But a "smart, but not very" person would say something different. He would say, "You need to be punched in the face!" But WHY?? Because I spoke the TRUTH! This is how an argument begins, when everyone understands that I was right in what I said, but out of habit, they continue to try to prove that I was wrong EVEN IN THAT. I am wrong in everything, and in general, I am the most stupid creature... Why? Because a "smart, but not very" person SOMETIMES does not want to admit that he is wrong, even if he really is wrong. And now – which phrase is better for the respected Stinger (the initial one, i.e., the one from the "very smart" person, or the one about punching in the face, without even trying to understand anything)? A question for Forrest. I think the second phrase is worse. He "provoked" an argument and insults that lasted for several pages, and as a result, Stinger is not better off because his name is mentioned in such a mess. (I apologize for the expression).
