The Black Knight:
...the intellectual level is static and infinitely
more narrow than most people's notion of it ... a
notion that isn't even in accordance with "Oxford's
Advanced" that actually says that intellect is the
S/O, but this I have repeated for ages without making
the slightest dent in people's pre-conceptions.
