New to you. Not new to me. Should not have been new to you either. Study and train to reduce communication overhead.
The strength of your position is not commensurate with your level of condescension here. In fact, you seem to be just trying to find excuses to back up your earlier unjustified insults—that isn’t something that JoshuaZ training and studying would help you with.
I fail to see how the suggestion that Wang is much smarter than Luke is an insult—unless Luke believes that there can’t be a person much smarter than him.
I try not to assume narcissist personality disorder. Most people have IQ around 100 and are perfectly comfortable with the notion that accomplished PhD is smarter than they are. Most smart people, also, are perfectly comfortable with the notion that someone significantly more accomplished is probably smarter than they are. Some people have NPD and have operating assumption ‘I am the smartest person in the world’ but they are a minority across entire spectrum of intelligence. There are also cultural differences.

How have you measured their level of comfort with the idea? Do you often tell such people that when they disagree with such an accomplished PhD, that the accomplished PhD is smarter than them? And do they tend to be appreciative of you saying that?
Outside of politically motivated issues (e.g. global warming), most people tend to generally not disagree with accomplished scientists on the topics within that scientist’s area of expertise and accomplishment, and to treat the more accomplished person as source of wisdom rather than as opponent in a debate. It is furthermore my honest opinion that Wang is more intelligent than Luke, and it is also the opinion that most reasonable people would share, and Luke must understand this.

If you stand by this statement as written, I’m at a loss for what your starting assumptions about social interactions even look like.
Conversely, if you only meant it as rhetorical hyperbole, would you mind glossing it with your actual meaning?

I have to imagine that either you derive a heroic amount of pleasure from feeding trolls, or you place a remarkably low value on signal/noise ratio.
The signal being what exactly?
