CM ji, I very well do know that knowledge is not a synonym of intelligence. My favorite desi aunty from my favorite mohalla knows all about all MIL-DIL masle in her gali. Do I think she is intelligent? I guess you think I do because after all according to princessjojo she is “knowledge-seeking.” Hence, so many definitions and examples from your side.
I never did say that. I was simply stating an opinion which is against what was being done in this thread: relegating the “skill” (or call it what you want) being discussed to something as insignificant as just being able to use a thesaurus.
And I did end the post saying that I agree with what most posters are saying: that waxing eloquently does not necessarily indicate intelligence.
