Indeed, often the cause is not a lack of intelligence but a lack of
motivation. It helps if the reader can choose the best material or
teacher but the reader's ability to do so may be limited. Evaluation
of the material or a teacher is only possible when one no longer
needs it. So ultimately all resposibility falls on the reader's side.

No, Special Realtivity is not. Only yours is.

That does not really matter as long as Dr. Hachel cannot express his
wisdom (if there is any) in Common Language.
