@tzimmer_history It doesn't change the results though. Erdogan did exactly the same things. He'd argue all sides of an argument. Flip a day later etc. Genius or not. He's still holding on to the power and putting more and more people in prison that he feels are a threat to him. He changed his coalition members multiple times. Being intelligent or smart or coherent has nothing to do with their situation. Simply irrelevant. So understanding that they are stupid doesn't necessarily mean you get rid of them.
