She may have been smart at some things, but possibly arrogant or emotionally driven. As when you look at this cold, if she’s guilty of what she’s charged with, she was never going to get away with it. 3 people dying at the same lunch, with one more seriously ill, but she’s not impacted? It’s always going to arouse suspicion. And the drivel she came out with in her statements to the press? That wasn’t smart. No wonder her lawyers took exception. Most of us saw it immediately on those public statements.
shes not some genius, the colleague is deluded. A genius would have never taken the action she allegedlydid, nor would they have made public statements like she did. Let’s face it, if you’re going to kill, there are smarter ways to do it.
if she’s guilty , then like many cold blooded mass murderers, we will really never understand her psychology, or even what went on at home, with those kids drawing predictive gravestones for their granny on the wall.
i wont deride air traffic controllers, you need a good level of intelligence for the role. But like many roles, you dont need to be an actual genius. And saying “you alright you baffoon” as someone tripped on your headset cable, shows someone totally lacking in empathy, social skills, and emotional intelligence.
if someone tripped on my cable, I’d immediately turn round and say oh shit you ok, like most of us would. Not attack. So the colleague proclaiming her a genius simply as she passed her training and ran equipment on her own, is really saying more about themselves. They think someone needs to be a genius to do that. They don’t.
