Absolutely agree. Moreover, it shows our innate bias toward verbal intelligence. But I thought it was an interesting insight / anecdote. A bit like the one from fox (iirc) of him ruffling his hair and getting into character before the cameras started rolling again on HIGNFY.
@marxist_vulcan - need to go away and double check this, but I'm very sure I remember reading statements from Churchill in the HoC on "the Jewish Question", which wouldn't have got an Owen Jones retweet.

That's excellent. It must be exhausting (or pschopathic?) to fake your character 24/7 if true.

Churchill was a racist but seemed to have some sympathy for Jews due to the Holocaust.

So many people think that this is a reasonable measure of intelligence. "He's so smart that they don't need to try, and are able to just get stuff straight away".
That's not close to my definition of intelligence, it's closer to laziness or inattentiveness. Most intelligent achievers I've ever met wouldn't accept that definition at all.
