ThomasX2 and I are kindred spirits, though he may not realize it.
Someone (I think it was a therapist!) told me once, many years ago, that I was “too intellectual.” Whatever that meant.
Today, I think he would have been fishing.
I think he was reaching for "intelligent." From our face-to-face meetings I know you are highly intelligent. And educated, however you came by it. (School is not always the best way.)
Even if sometimes, like when revising our arrangements to meet up Sunday a week ago, you think like an engineer. *\;^)
