If I’m being honest I consider you a perfect example of how insatiable curiosity can profoundly influence how much one learns in their lifetime. It’s easy to see brilliance, but in your case it’s a little masked by the sheer volume of understanding you have acquired along the way. How much is talent and how much is database is hard to discern because they’re both such prominent features.
I’m a little surprised to see less than perfect marks on, well, anything. I shouldn’t be, however, considering how poorly they measure the very traits that make you uniquely you. Whatever they reported at the time, what you did with them is laudable. -stu m.
