Y'know, it's interesting you bring that up. It seems that the gross majority of the functioning of the human brain rests with making sure the heart beats when it is supposed to, walking across the street without stumbling and picking up a glass without crushing it in your hand. Only a tiny fraction of our brain power is used for what we call the higher functions. So the differences in intelligence are actually quite miniscule, when comparing one person to another.

You read technical papers. Cool. I read technical papers in the computer world and in the legal world. Unfortunately, that doesn't help me much with a paper on quantum physics or "rocket science" (which, by the way, isn't rocket science, like everyone thinks). Likewise, the communication style used in your "scientific papers" doesn't necessarily prepare you for understanding information as presented in documents found in the other professions.

A real world Homer Simpson can understand some documentation about nuclear power plants better than me because I have no training in that area.

He's still an immature little kid in an adult body.

Knowledge is not wisdom and single line insults do not an argument make. Of course, in Homers world, he thinks he's really Zinged 'em - while they just go away shaking their heads…
