I wonder what lesson Russell drew from this discovery? The savant would probably say that the gardener just isn't equipped to see reality as it is. Personally, I'm with the gardener.

Bertrand Russell
I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite. -Bertrand Russell, philosopher, mathematician, and author (1872-1970)
