I see the value in that. My mother taught me, before I entered school, that
I was smarter than all the other children. When I started school and
complained that no one wanted to be friends with me, she taught me that all
the other kids were jealous of how smart I was. When I started getting beat
up, she told me that that was the price I had to pay for being so smart.
Fortunately, I *was* smart enough to realize how useless her advice was, and
I learned to keep my smart [sic] comments to myself. :)
