I mean, I can't claim to know every bit of every peice of technology I've ever heard of (or those I haven't...), and Rob's computing example left me cold... but seriously, anything I've ever wanted to know more about I've always been able to grasp, I just figured that was how higher brain functions worked, man...
And oddball stuff like Clash's examples, I just happen to know enough of the fundaments of what he's talking about (though never having before heard some of the terms he used put together) to pretty much grasp the entire thing from concept alone.
This is, as you say, odd? Jaw droppingly so?
Great. I'm a genius working peanuts. Now I'm off to sulk and generally drink my advanced brain into the cell death so I can feel comfortable around all you baselines...
