Even the very, very bright are just people

This Ben Stein article, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/11/business/11every.html?partner=rss&emc=rss, captures my thoughts about persons who think they have all the answers to this financial crisis. I greatly respect bright and thoughtful people. Nevertheless, I have observed hubris (including my own) at AT&T, Rensselaer, and the US government cause immeasurable human and financial loss. So, I think that curiosity and humility are necessary characteristics of all persons, especially those that are very IQ smart.
