yup ... pointing my finger to the (real) diplomat that has a PhD in
math, physics, chemistry all by the time he was 22 and his current work
stuff was doing something totally different than his "studies"
	- probably the most humble ez going guy there is

usually, smart folks just get the "job done" reasonably correctly

the ones that need help sometimes, just need one or two things clarified
are equally smart, it takes some balls to ask "dumb questions" or obvious
questions to avoid going down the wrong path
	- not everybody can have a iq of 300

those that constantly need help are sometimes just lazy to do things
for themself ( lazy are the ones that ask questions w/o doing at least a
google search )
	- i know lots of these PhDs that makes me wonder where and how
	they earned their PhD, most of whom don't do "engineering anymore"
	( gee, i wonder why )

those that have PhD, or any degree, or just the willingness to learn
another discipline usually will quickly pick things up 

having 0, 1 or 3 degrees makes no difference, it's all attitude and
interaction
