My goodness, is this a great example of misunderstanding based 
on a brief snippet of information gleaned from popular media or 
what?

Please show me the evidence that grading is positively correlated 
with brain size, and then we can have a decent dialogue on this 
subject.

Also, those that would like to comment on grading systems might 
do well to make the effort to understand the (unfortunately) multiple 
purposes grading systems are used for within the various systems 
in which they are utilized.

I suggest some systems thinking applied here, rather than 
searching (no, stretching) to concoct evidence using faulty logic 
and misinterpreting what amounts to terribly simple evidence (such 
as the structure of the fissure in Einsteins brain and it's other 
morphological anomolies.
