It happens that some people, whom you know to be normally intelligent, are unable to grasp certain specific notions. I wonder why. Such notions are neither particularly difficult nor are they expressed in a cryptic way. Yet...they just don't get it!
It is as if those individuals, although they can easily climb any hill with no effort, are unable to climb one specific hill - for no apparent reason. I keep being fascinated by the mysterious ways in which the human brain works. One person is excellent in cooking and can solve math problems, yet they cannot understand a simple grammar rule. Another can speak three foreign languages or lift heavy weights but is unable to sew a stitch or hammer a nail. It is not a matter of intelligence and no special skills are required. So, what is it?
