Don't care about that much about the reactions of other peoples on the net. Too many crazy peoples out there in cyberspace.
You are nature, straightforward and smart. That's definitely good enough.
Having an advanced education degree (even with a major in physics) doesn't mean smartness at all. By the way, there are too many holes in the logic of that guy "10 point". Just ignore him, put him aside.
Good luck!
