I think its a sign of intelligence to understand intellectual ability is no more linear than any other domain of ability.

Which kinds of goes to the fallacy of perfect. Perfect as a concept is either specialized or it can't exist.

This is why no generalist in nature can compete in any area with a specialist. A generalist is as such only successful when change is itself the dominate constant that must be adapted to. We Humans are the ultimate generalist in nature but only because we are able to become with our ability to change our minds and use tools specialist based upon the need.
We are of course aware of all the difficulties of invention and development involved in that process, and we are becoming aware of the disastrous intellectual facilities that can come too.
Such as the ones presently decimating our industrialize populations.

So intellectual adaptability is not a stable or necessarily a good thing, which is why dispute how apparently easy it is to build such networks as we now know with AI, nature created soo few, and we see no evidence of any in the rest of the universe. As we would expect if any were more than just a few million years older than our own.

The point is intelligence as defined as intellectual ability is not linear , its very nature is to specialize! Often enough into bad or undesirable thing.


But regardless the point is such intellectual specialist may be a great writer, terrible at math, terrible with people, terrible at mechanics, etc..

Its a sign you are fluent in the language. So maybe a sign of education in general.

An adult should be able to construct a sentence in their native tongue, they have after all had years of schooling. It's the basic level we expect from people and it's hard to respect those who can't grasp it.
