I know a guy who scored 800 on the SAT math (40 years ago, when it was much harder), fell just short of 800 on the English SAT and the English achievement, and was graduated from a US News & World Report "Top 25" college.
He has a remarkable vocabulary and facility with words. University professors come to him for advice regarding articles they are submitting to peer-reviewed journals.
He was also a pretty good ballplayer.
Remarkably, however, though he has read ASA's DEFO rule over and over, he claims that he still does not understand it.
