I was having a discussion with my GF's brother. He just finished his master's degree in public health. Long story short, we were having a conversation about human anatomy. I was telling him that human organs, as well as our brains, vary in size and mass. He actually trying to tell me that all of us have the same size organs!
I then found the WIKI page on "athletic heart syndrome", where basically super athlete's hearts grow bigger to make up for the bigger demands, more blood flow needed at better efficiency. It's all there in black and white.
So then he goes to tell me that we all have the same size brains, which I knew was flat out BS. There is significant variance in brain size in human beings. It only states the "average" human brain size on the WIKI, which obviously implies that some are bigger, some smaller.
What grinds my gears is how someone can have THAT much education in a subject that pertains to this, and yet still be completely ignorant of some basic fundamentals.
He's the kind of guy who likes to use big words just for the sake of sounding intelligent. Years ago I thought this guy knew what he was talking about, but over time I've learned to take just about everything he says with a grain of salt.
Education means nothing if you're an idiot :)
