    Wouldn’t you by definition have to know something to be able to do something?

    It is like practicing something and doing it.

    Are you doing the thing when you practice? Does doing something count as practice? Why do we have two words if they are the same thing?

    And again, they interact with each other. Obama’s speeches were like 50% intelligence and 50% skill because he thought about what he was saying and had skill in conveying it. Trump is 100% skill because he spouts whatever comes to mind at that moment and he changes it up entirely based on the crowd reaction.

      Lol, this is semantic reasoning.

      Why do we have two words if they are the same thing?

      Have you not heard of a synonym?

          No, like I originally stated. I just don’t like some people’s narrow interpretation of intellect. I don’t really care what you think specifically, your opinion doesn’t really matter to anyone but yourself.
