You’re putting words in my mouth, that’s not even close to the point I was making.
In my eyes, education is nothing more than a measure of how much knowledge you have been taught.
Intelligence is your ability to use your existing knowledge in a creative way. (ie. creating a working scientific theory after experimentation)
So no, advancements aren’t just made by some smart person who never went to school and lives in a shed, they come from people who are both educated and smart.
oh, people love the idea that scientific advances come from a uneducated guy working in a shed.
