Yeah, but this guy was just super on it, and clearly did get what he was talking about. Fuzzy Guy was a contrast, too. The problem wasn't quite that Brainy Guy was wrong but that he was, in an odd way, missing the point. Probably some gender/macho thing mixed in, but he was the sort of confident that is convincing to me because he so clearly gets it, can synthesize globally quite well (a good sign of understanding). I might have a bias for global synthesis and ignore lack of obvious precision too much.
