It's not my IQ (some would say the lack of it!) that's at issue here, it's that I called someone out on an inaccurate statement about the UK being 'governed' by the monarch, and they tried to make it my fault because I took their words at face value whereas I should have realised that what they said wasn't what they actually meant!

A simple "You're right, I fucked up" would have commanded far more respect from me than the energetic belly-dance that Bill performed to try to wriggle out of it.
