I'd like to think my own strengths can give me some measure of wisdom, which I value more than haughty intellectualism anyhow.

And how often are those who regard themselves as "intellectuals" in fact just pseudo-intellectuals? I find those sorts rather annoying, to be honest.
Agreed. I'm not an expert on everything either, but I still like learning about stuff that interests me such as history and one can learn from mistakes as well.
