Midwits are people "who are around average intelligence but are so opinionated and full of themselves that they think they're some kind of genius.". ~ Urban Dictionary
Even if you are, indeed, a genius, or a halfwit, a nitwit, or even witless, if you post on this thread, your carefully gauged contributions should be those of a midwit.
As Donald Rumsefld said so famouly: There are the things we know and we know that we know, there are things we know and we don't know that we know them, then there are things we don't know and know we don't know them and then there the things we don't know and we don't know, that we don't know them. (the unknown unknowns).
And then there is the like of @Metal-Brain and @Eladar
@ponderable saidAnd THAT is precisely why you were voted our Poster of the Year Ponderable 🙂

Maybe he is somebody else?
@pettytalk saidThanks for your OP compliance.
Only a dimwit can create this kind of a thread.
In my book I would say, a blockhead. One wearing the crown as a cyclops. Polyphemus, king of the cyclopes, the giant who got outwitted by a cunning full-witted man.
@ponderable saidAll this stuff you've said about Donald Rumsefld is a case of known knowns. If you had walked a mile in my political analysis shoes, you'd have come up with some unknown unknowns about HIM, although I probably already know them.

@david-burton saidR.D. Laing (The Divided Self, Knots) tells an anecdote about a woman that came up to him and said 'didn't you used to be RD Laing.'
