You are heavily punished for this comment but instead of giving you another flag or downvote I hope there is a learning opportunity here:

Think if you met someone who said any of these things while you were listening:

- There are adults who cannot fish!

- There are adults who cannot swim!

- There are adults who cannot milk a cow if their life depends on it!

- There are adults who cannot tell you 6 teams from premier league

- There are adults who cannot tell you the rules of baseball, basketball, football

- There are adults who cannot say even half of the American states or capitals

- There are adults who cannot tell you which countries are members of the European Union

- There are adults who cannot drive a car

- etc

It is frightening!

Or not. We are just different. And for the record, more than two of the bullet points above covers me, a highly successful software engineer :-)

Not everyone has the same skillset, the same background etc.

Once we learn to respect others for what they are not for what they are not, we can make progress.

I recommend you edit it and I'll try to delete or empty my comment afterwards :-)

Edit: I see two hours have passed now so it is too late anyway. My advice still stands for another time: People can be excellent in most areas of live and still struggle mightily in others, at least that is my understanding.
