>>13779643/sci/ and to a lesser extent /lit/ are the only 4chan boards where if you're intelligent but not knowledgeable you can actually end up feeling out of depth. Every other board has little reason for technical language, or is non-academic and limited to a specific interest, so most people talk in layman's terms. Also, most people here are retards, there's just a half dozen or so really autistic math nerds who circle jerk over linear algebra.
