Umm... I never said Quakers are stupid, after all I once played Quake ;)
What we were arguing, is that INTELLIGENCE IS NOT NECESSARY for Quake.
I am not arguing anything about sufficiency.  You can have a smart person

Yesterday I ate dinner with five of my friends.  I had another friend come

I helped another one prepare for a LISP quiz.

I work out with friends in the gym at least 3 times a week.
I do orchestra.
