Well said.

I don't know what he means. why 'fast idiot'?

All I come up with is you guys are lawyers?

[rpedroso]

They're programmers, the fast idiot is a computer.

I must be slow today. I had to read this comment to know what a fast idiot is. I too work with fast idiots. But now I'm slightly embarrassed. Time for more coffee I think.

[notreal55]

I call them idiot savants.

I'm not sure he was the first, but Feynman talks about computers being really fast but dopey filers in one of his lectures for laymen.
