Amazing isn't it?
Yes, but in a sad sort of way. At first you grin or laugh, then you realize how much you really have learned, not because you're "smart" and they are "dumb", that doesn't mean a thing; but mostly because you took the time to actually learn or observe something, banked that experience in your head, and used it, while some people just trample through the woods, completely unaware of what the hel is going on around them, and take no action to figure it out.
My brother is an example of this. I love him to death, even though he only hunts2 or 3days year..[8D] But every year, the first day of gun season, he shoots a deer with his .270, it runs away, and he radios me and tells me he can't find it. I walk for a half hour to get to his spot, and spend 2 minutes tracking a deer that ran 50 yards over the hill. EVERY STINKING YEAR. Then I have to help him dress it. I can't figure out who has the
flat learning curve in their brain, him for not learning anything, or me for doing all his work...[:@]
