We all know someone who is really capable in one domain but is mess in the rest of their life. Does anyone know someone who is really good in two non-overlapping domains and a mess in the rest of their life? Good in three disparate domains with a messy life?
There's too much going on here for me to have an opinion one way or another, i.e.: - smartest people tend to be top of field. rewards for cancelling top of field higher - smarter people more likely to hold nonconsensus opinions
