Intelligent person? Hell a monkey is supposed to be able to beat low limit PP games right?

Every time I hear people say something like they could teach a monkey to play blah blah blah I always think they should try teaching someone sometime. I have spent a fair bit of time teaching people who have asked me to and based on my experience you can expect 1-2 out of 10 to do fairly well but no more. Maybe I'm just a lousy teacher but I don't think so.
