    I believe it was Einstein that said “don’t judge a fish by its ability to ride a bicycle”, I’m probably misquoting somewhat.

    Anyway, I think what the person you are replying to was trying to say that everyone has things that they are stupid at.

    For instance, I can’t dance other than either specifically spelled out instructions like waltz or like an epileptic on crack cocaine in a rave.

    I have a lot of other things I’m bad at but that’s just the squeakiest wheel to grease.

    I honestly feel like these people are trying to say something and don’t have the skill needed to say it.

      Not being good at everything is something completely different. Dumb is when someone says things like “English is God’s language because the Bible is written in English”.
