I have no idea why idiots make self evident idiot identifying statements. Sometimes when you point out idiot to someone who has made an idiotic statement, they then rethink and see they have been idiots. True idiots simply do not have that ability.

exactly <g>why a particular statement is idiotic is not presented to make simple the identification of True idiots.

I specifically look at the logic, the reason, the motive stated or implied in a post or dialog of posts and then proffer an analysis of idiot identification.

Sometimes like in a chess game the mate is obvious in the current move or sometimes it several moves into the future. The mate like the identification of idiot is certain.

Wisdom is found in calm thought. Until one can be calm with being called an idiot, no true learning state of mind is possible.
