I can't tell you how many times a topic has come up and I have the answers to the questions. People will comment on how smart or informed I am. I tell them it has nothing to do with me being smart and everything to do with the fact that I can pretty much find any information I need as long as I have my smart phone and a data connection.
Edit- To be clear, I'm old and most of my friends are old. A few don't even have phones and a few others still carry flip phones. Just so you understand the demographic I am referring to.
I am going to respectfully correct you. You are not innovative (creating new ideas) but you are smart (very good at learning).
People call me every ad hominem in the book when I call them on their BS. However, they fail to realize why I chose the citation format. I (n=1) am irrelevant, the massive evidence supporting me is not.
Off topic. Is there a way to get notified of replies? I get no notifications here.
I didn't see the part where anything was said about innovation, who or for what are you respectfully correcting.
As far as notifications, at the top of the page where the green submit field is are 4 other icons. The one on the far left is the notification history. Tab that and you should see a response.

Yes, doing something as simple as looking something up before spewing nonsense is being smart. Looking something up to ensure accuracy means you are thorough, thirsty and will retain at lease some of the knowledge. So he should stop selling himself short to those people =)
However, researching (like I do) is not innovative. So he is smart by definition. Innovative? Maybe I don't know him.
@RoamingGnome When I start posting please participate either for or against my argument IDC. Just bring those sources with you!!!!!
Lol...I'm a non-innovative smart ass!!!....and did you check the notification history for the response alert? It's not like the Reddit system with the little letter prompt.
True but we are in the technology era. A smartphone should well make you sound smart.

The above was my attempt at a compliment.

Yes, thank you. You reply fast. I have a tendency of hitting the edit button like 10 times after posting.
I wish I could be innovative =( I can use a non-innovative smart ass only if you are on my side!!
I got too much of that against me. One more and I might pop.
