Replying to a comment on:

I don't rhyme enough, eh? (Ode) by Niphredil

Rhyming is not all-important. I know For some it's a challenge, a chance for a show, But let all beware of those who coerce Their disordered feelings to pre-ordered verse. I'm sure that a poem is oft viewed as neater When properly rhymed and according to meter If genius strikes you, by all means then rhyme; Less than that shall be denounced as a crime.

I have a genuine question: How do you know when a person is smarter than you? I mean, if he says something you don't understand, are you more likely to assume he's talking about something beyond your lesser intelligence, or something stupid and nonsensical? As long as you start with an assumption like "I'm astonishingly smart", it's practically untestable, right?
