Spoken as a true teacher, Stoutcraft! Along similar lines: Several people are asking why Justine is still in high school. Is it possible that while she's a physics genius, she's not as strong in subjects like history, art, or English? Thank-you. Are you calling Justine a... savant?!

Well, not an autistic savant, if that's what you mean... I guess I just mean that perhaps Justine is exceptionally strong in physics, but is either averave or above-average in other courses. Of course, when I say "average" I mean relative to her knowledge of physics...

Yah... I would, as you can see, not all people who graduates high school/college is smarter than another people who hasn't graduated from high school/college...
This is because intelligence is not based upon a degree but not on the person's capabilities. And since a person's capability can vary from one "instance" from another then it follows that one may beat the other in a given "instance" and the reverse happens on another "instance". The term "smarter" is given to the person/s who are hypothetically overpowered the others in all of the "instances". This ,however, is only hypothetical by nature because it is impossible to state every singe "instance" available.
To make it short, the proposition:
"I graduated from high school/college, therefore I am smarter than you who has not."
Is only a logical possibility that is not false but also not true.
And since it is not true, then it cannot be concluded as fact, but can only be hypothetically factual.

You started discussing about intelligence. I suggest strongly you folks read Charles Dickens Sociology. For the ones who hates to read a book of 860 pages i`ll try to get it short... In one chapter Dickens says There are several types of intelligence like math, music, art emotions and interpersonal intelligence... and that a person can be an "expert" in one field and stink in other (and not being a savant - they gained their "powers" mainly through brain injuries) So both Wade and Twins could be the smartest ones but thats my or yours opinion only, cuz there is no method to measure how smart am I (the IQ test is an exception but it is not proven right - if anyone interest i `ll explain why)

Big duh to me. Wade Load is smarter. Finished high school and college in eight months. That got to show how high his IQ is even though it does not help him in the social department.
