Just because one goes to college (no insult here <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ) does not nessarily make them more intelligent than someone who doesn't.Also remeber that a lot of 'differing' ideas can be found in multiple disciplines. Take the master's circle I mentioned earlier. It is based on geometeric calculation. Just because a person masters it doesn't mean he can plot pathes and trajectories. He CAN manipulate what he knows to improve his skill (how you strike at an angle as well as avoid strikes from the same angle, just to start). As for using all stats for skills, how often have you heard "yea, they have talent but they'll need to polish it up/learn more/(needs more experience/training euphamism here) if they want to success"? Con, Dex, and Str all help in a game of football but how often does a disciplined team with plans beat a group of guys who just throw the ball? How often do you here about someone beating someone else who was stronger or faster because he knew something the other guy didn't.  There have also been dozens of reports of Masters of softer styles (not relying on pure power) of martial arts actually improving techniques as they age (as speed and strength waine). To paraphrase one such master, "I have been practicing for nearly 60 years, and I believe that I may finally understand this technique". This the master said this while describing a basic karate overhead block. A 60 year old man beat an 18 year old gang member who tried to take his SUV. shot the kid with his own gun (in the arm, the kid lived). There were rumors that the older man was a former bodyguard for a rather 'infamous' world leader. Either way, the guy didn't have the size, strength, or mobility advantage.P.S.: the event with the 60 year old and the 18 year old only happened three or four years ago, if that.</blockquote>
