But really, I was just making a point that being able to adapt to any
keybindings doesn't tell much about a person's intelligence.

In all likelihood, a more experienced person who has many keychords
ingrained in their workflow would find it harder to adapt to new ones
than, say, a first-year CS student who's just picking up their first
serious editor.
