Even geniuses can knowingly make mistakes.

It's not, but we still do it. It makes us human.

Of course, but that has nothing to do with your initial statement. The argument isn't about whether or not to err is human, but rather if geniuses can knowingly make mistakes.

It's not a matter of if.

It was more on the fact that people believe people of high intelligence don't make mistakes. But that's not really true everyone does. Smart or not.

However, that isn't at all what your original statement indicated. In fact, it couldn't possibly be further from what your original statement indicated.

What you're implying doesn't make sense and how my statement differs from the original statement does not make sense either.

It is exactly what my original statement indicated.

'Even geniuses can knowingly make mistakes' implies that while people think it's impossible for someone of a high iq to not make mistakes is not true, the fact of the matter is they do make them and know that they do infact make them.

Your logic is astoundingly illogical.

[itsthebrocode.livejournal.com]

Actually its not my logic is completely sound. You're reading into something that's not there, at all.

Are you certain that you aren't just backtracking now that you've been found making a statement that doesn't have a shred of sense about it? You initially agreed with me, after all. Now you're trying to make the statement mean something that it clearly does not.

Though a more productive argument might be, who the hell truly believes people of high intelligence don't make mistakes? It seems to me that folks have the most fun catching the "smart" ones in their mistakes than anyone else.

No I'm not, and I'm sort of wondering what I did for you to just come at me? When I actually did agree with you and I never stopped agreeing with you.

There are people who seem dumbfounded when I make a mistake. People I work with. I'm not saying everyone says that, I'm just saying that some people do. I don't think anyone finds it fun to catch people in their mistakes. At least I've never come across the situation.
