Some people, I believe, are misprogrammed. Here's some pseudocode for
what normal people think like:
if (advice.provider.iq < me.iq)
ignore(advice);
But, Dragoonkey's brain, like that of all human beings, is
self-optimizing. It will try to do things faster by using shortcuts if
possible. I suspect that Dragoonkey encountered a large number of people
whose IQ was low, so said brain recognized the pattern and optimized the
above pseudocode into:
if (advice.provider != me)
ignore(advice);
In other words, Dragoonkey isn't an idiot, but just has bugs. ;)
Regards,
Alex.
P.S. I think about things like this too much. Can you tell?
