I'm a person (I believe) with slightly above average intelligence. I tested into a PhD level Experimental Design course as a graduate student and completed the course THIRD in my class of 15 students.
When I received my grade, I was miffed to have been awarded an A - (minus! :wtf:).
I scheduled an appointment with the professor where he informed me, POINT BLANK, "You have a talent for statistics and received THE HIGHEST A- in the class. That should make you happy? That's excellent for a master's level student." This program would not award a masters level graduate student a solid "A" because it did not meet their preconceived concept of our capabilities. We only served to fill out the class of esteemed PhD level candidates. :(
My point: Turley is A SNOB. I don't know what criteria he uses to judge brilliance, perhaps it was that one of her hairs were out of place.
Who knows?
The FACT that Turley says that she's NOT brilliant enough makes me LIKE HER MORE.
Some professors and intellectuals are so arrogant as to be unreachable ... can we say, lack empathy? :evilgrin:
