Well, I know what it means but I didn't think it an accurate description. I thought "Idiot Savant," someone who is very knowledgable about subject but clueless all others or a mentally disabled person with a particular genius (a la Rainman (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0095953/maindetails)), would have been more accurate.
