Definition of 'Idiot Savant'

What is an idiot-savant?

"Idiot savants are a group of humans that are incapable of learning, writing or reading, yet they have unlimited access to specific, accurate knowledge in the fields of mathematics, music, and other precise areas. Now the irony of an idiot-savant is that this group of individuals does not acquire knowledge by learning as the average human does. They mysteriously 'know' explicit, exact, correct information." - Dr. Lee E. Warren

Frankly, I didn't know the term 'Idiot Savant' has such a cool meaning! Hehe... (Quite obvious that I didn't come up with the name, right? :P )

Awesome article, thanks for that! Good info.

Couldn't finish reading it though. Stoopid background and lousy formatting.

Haha... should I copy and paste in word, and beautify it a little? Hehe... I'm very tempted to do it! Hahaha....
