@fkamiah17 The smartest people in the world are the ones who can see their intellectual boundaries and listen to other people about what is beyond them. One person's vision almost always has serious flaws.
That said, if you heard it from a Tory, that is probably not how they meant it. It was just an excuse for doing nothing – excuses do not pay the rent.
