Telling the truth doesn't mean being honest.
Success doesn't mean happiness.
Saving a backup on five seperate floppy discs doesn't stop them burning up in the fire which destroys your PC.
Compensation doesn't bring back a dead loved one.
Saying intellectual sounding phrases doesn't make me intellectual

Makes me think of the "clever" school I used to go to. The people that were the best at maths considered themselves geniuses and stopped trying to think. They were continually outsmarted by the kids that didn't consider themselves so clever, and so actually tried to think around a problem.
There is nothing funnier than the expression of a person who you outsmart who thinks they are invincible because they have an IQ 50 points higher than you.
