Honestly this is true of many smart people in specialized professions

Infamously software developers are fucking knuckle dragging morons about anything that has nothing to do with what they're good at, but they think they're god kings and think the world works like a computer

The only hallmark of intelligence I subscribe to is when someone just acknowledges they don't know everything and listen. Everyone else is doom spiraling into thought terminating patterns while thinking they're right
