I guess it depends on how you define talent and intelligence. All those
things you mentioned have led to a failed business. They have a couple
groupies and that's it.

Where's your bullshit detector, Jo? How can you twist NFL bullshit into "If
they can help people to explore a dietary system to fashion improvements in
health for the short-term, hey, good for them." Again, their
accomplishments are VERY limited--they just toot their own horn so much
that people suppose they must be pretty important.

Then they would read how you are cutting them slack, how a threat of
violence doesn't really harm their reputation much because, gag, "If they
can help people to explore a dietary system to fashion improvements in
health for the short-term, hey, good for them."

You say absolutely but you seem to think the ends justify the means. Which
is it?
