This may come across as an attitude of blinding arrogance but it sucks to be smart. It is ultimately aggravating to have to play Devil's advocate because you are the only one with the capacity to envision the infinite amount of what ifs and all the most minor flaws suddenly take on the importance of that iceberg looming large in the view of the captain of the Titanic.
You also know deep down that you can do a job 10million times better if only you had the time. Because a labour of love is in crafting the details.
It is also spellbindingly lonely because no one gets your jokes.
