Re: SBS RULE

I remember reading a study from a few years ago that came to the conclusion that you do not want people with high intelligence working as bus drivers. Such individuals get bored with the routine nature of the work, and their minds wander. In contrast, less intelligent individuals get more fully involved in such routine work, and more frequently focus their efforts on what is, to them, a challenging work environment. That work environment legitimately requires such attention, given the safety aspects involved, and the consequences of failing to pay attention. Such persons can be very good at this type of work. But that said, the reasoning ability of less-intelligent persons is not going to be that great: if it were otherwise, they would have a different career. So while the driver in this story might be very good, technically, at the skills required for driving, it is not surprising that he would not be able to reason through the distinctions between public schools and Catholic schools.
