I'm speaking of the gentleman you thought was so wise and educated, but now that you have life experience, you realize he was a mental retard?

I had a philosophy professor that I thought was very bright and knowledgeable when I was a freshman in college. I have spoken to him again now (one year after graduating), and now that I know him personally, I can see how many of his thoughts are simply flawed. I don't think he's a moron by any means, but I don't hold him to such a high intellectual esteem as I did before.

No, I haven't had this experience but I guess I find it hard to believe that you thought so highly of this person at one time and now feel the opposite. I am not sure if research has proven the theories he taught inaccurate or if the person has failed you personally. Either way -- the individual helped you to become the person you are today through some amount of influence. Not everyone or everything withstands the test of time.

I think most of the time it works the other way around. We think our teachers are morons, and then 50 years down the road we realize that we were the morons. Any way that has been my experience. Stop listening

Many many many... did I mention many? It is a fact of life that the student surpasses the master.
