I know a dude who is a cashier at a grocery store, has been for just about all of his adult life. He is a genius, but has no people skills, etc. If you would talk to him, you would wonder if he is either really smart or retarded.
He was in college in the early 90s. He went to LSU. He would start telling the professors they were wrong or go into more detail. They got mad, he stopped going to class and would spend the day riding the bus around campus while he read.

LOL I had to google it

I thought it had to do with the creation of the universe? Huh..
You might be a actual manifestation of the type person being talked about by the OP.

Some people are so smart they are stupid. And some are just stupid....

I have a lawyer friend who thought it was not possible to move a bookcase through a door because it was too tall. It didn't occur to him to lie it on its side to go through the door.

Maybe he just wanted you to restring it.

Some book smart people have the problem of over-analyzing things. Most just don't have any life experience

Jerry Clower referred to those types of people as being educated beyond their intelligence. I tend to agree.
