Einstein didn't say that .The original quote is not implying being "open minded " and "thinking outside the box " , which anyone with limited knowledge and intelligence is capable of , he was suggesting it was simply and importantly "a real factor in research " I doubt he even used the term intelligence . Such a stark telling reply to an accusation of being arrogant and patronising at least provides a laugh .


and what gives you the arrogance of knowing exactly what Einstein (or whomever) meant or implied?


Why am I being arrogant in understanding a simple statement from a collection of aphorisms .


maybe it's not about understanding, it's in the interpretation;
the arrogance is in believing you alone have the correct interpretation
