I am used to feeling dumb. I think it goes with the territory. As dumb as I feel, and as often as I feel it, I'm astonished by so many in the field who are so much worse at this than I am - and it's often those very people who have either nearly as much time in as I do, or sometimes even more, and usually egos far larger than mine.
I must admit, my ego isn't small, either.
