It makes me honest. Is honesty stupid?


It sure doesn't seem to guarentee intelligence.

First of all, Anthony isn't honest. He claims to come here to
discuss aviation, and yet ...well, if the above is an aviation-
related discussion, as well as Anthony's constant bleating about how
he is treated here (which, btw, is pretty much how he is received
in a LOT of Usenet groups), then I'm the queen of the Netherlands.

Anthony also plays his typical little word game of false correlation.
Honesty is no indicator of whether one is intelligent or not. Stupid
people can be honest, too, and intelligent people are more than capable
of telling porkies when it suits them.

It doesn't, although intelligence does tend to increase honesty somewhat.

Based on my personal experiences, you couldn't be farther from the truth.

I assume you mean credibility rather than credence.

I do not seek to gain credibility. I expect any intelligent person to look
things up and verify them for himself; anyone who relies exclusively on USENET
is doomed to have problems sooner or later. And even if I were the type to
worship credentials, as some are, the credentials claimed on USENET are
unverifiable.

I might even work for the FAA ... who knows?


No, I mean credence.

Or further from being intelligent. He seems to be mistaking intelligence
for smart-assedness
