[QUOTE="Steverooo, post: 1474771, member: 9410"] 1) "X? No, I've never heard of X... What is it?"... "Oh, then it's a lot like Q. Well, you could reroute the exhaust from the manifold, after reversing the polarity, and it'd work as well as new!" 2) "Yeah, I understand the aft bay doors on these old XjA-1As tend to stick, a lot... I understand you can roll'em, and they unstick... No, I don't know why... never thought to ask..." In the first case, the PC can figure things out, once he knows what he's dealing with, but has problems relating new stuff to what he knows, because he's so inexperienced... Think of a Genious who has spent his entire life as a sheepherd in the desert... If it doesn't relate to desert sheep herding, he has trouble relating to it, despite his intelligence! Once he understands the problem, he can work with it. In the second case, the PC has a very broad, but relatively shallow knowledge. He knows a little about a lot, but a lot about little... Give him basic facts about everything, but when someone asks how or why, he's unlikely to know. (PS: Hey, Chaotic one! Long time, no see!) :D [/QUOTE]
