If you’d started it earlier Calvin, you’d have had enough time to think things through and produce a better quality report (but of course starting early and thinking things through were never your forte. ;D).
If he knows the subject so well, he should have been able to to turn out a masterpiece in no time at all. I’m thinking spaceman Spiff went to planet Zircon for a while.
The problem is, Hobbes – a lot of fools with big money think that same way: ‘I have big money, therefore I am a genius and require special consideration.’
When Cal goes through one of these wind-ups, he almost never comes out of it with the obvious lesson. ‘Be prepared’ is not one of the arrows in his quiver.
The devil of writing any factual paper is that you can only use what you know to find the official versions. It takes accolades to become a source authority on almost anything.
“I think geniuses should be given special considerations.”
You, and Ayn Rand. The problem is that too many people who are simply ambitious THINK they’re geniuses, and true geniuses can figure out how to work around obstacles.

True geniuses either don’t need special consideration, or they do get special consideration. Which should tell Calvin something.

Calvin, a true genius would have started with inventing a time machine. You’d be able to back up and get ’er done right.
