Why is it that people throw around the term "autodidact" as a self-compliment? I found it funny when Dave Scot did so, but I find it a bit disturbing that others do as well.
The term merely means "self-taught", especially as pertains to individual subject areas. One does not necessarily have to be smart in order to do this--merely able to read (or in DaveTard's case thumb through a picture book). Being autodidactic certainly doesn't mean that you got the best education possible, just your own education.
