Two disputes have jelled in my mind as being related. There is endless debate about geographical knowledge and anatomical knowledge. Some Drs who have posted on the boards have said that anybody could have done the mutilations as described, others have said that he had to be a full fledged surgeon and there are quite a few opinions inbetween. One of the other threads quotes Stewart Evans as saying that the geography of Whitechapel can be learned with ease. Other sources say its like a labyrinth to the uninitiated.
One of the functions of the human brain is to perceive spatial relationships. Some of us are very good at this and others are not. However, this is not a test of overall intelligence as it is only one skill. I'm beginning to believe that both Jack and Stewart Evans probably received a great deal of talent in this area. Someone who is low in this area (as I am) would describe Whitechapel as a labyrinth and the internal anatomy of a human body as a confused inscrutable mess.
Suppose Jack was a spatial relationship genious. He learns Whitechapel easily and masters the human body so easily that he fools even Drs into thinking he has an MD. |
