"You're making a point while throwing a negative filter over it — it's a bit like writing on a mirror with rotated handwriting."
Have you ever met someone new and thought, "Wow, that person is smarter than they look." So, someone on Reddit recently asked:
"What’s a dead giveaway that someone is smarter than they let on?" What they say is interesting. This is what they said:
"I don't know why, but I've worked with a lot of people who get mad when they look something up.
I'll say [X], but the other guy says it's [Y]. I say, "Oh, okay," and then I look up the right answer. After this, people often say, "Oh, you just had to make sure you were right, didn't you?"
No? It's right, not who is right. One of us is wrong if we both say different things. It's cool if I look it up and I'm right. But I want to know if I'm wrong so I can learn from it and get it right next time.
