Yes he was...
You know, I'm just really tired of primitives coming over here as know-it-alls.
I'm not saying this late one was one of the most obnoxious sorts of those--:jugs:
is a better example--but s-o-o-o-o-o-o many of them come over here
automatically assuming they're brighter than us.
Even before they know anything about any of us, that's their biggest assumption.
I will say my successes in moling Skins's island are based on that I don't go over there
automatically assuming I'm brighter than them; I merely scout the terrain, go over, and mingle for quite a while before I dare make any judgement call about intelligence (if it's even necessary, which it isn't always, to make such a determination).
