Yes, I know this is a fun article, not a dissertation on our cultural understanding of intelligence. I enjoyed reading it.
Old, old trailer technique - and addressed & allowed for in the oldest music licensing formats for them. (Even “Tubular Bells” was manipulated to sync with effects in trailers for “The Exorcist”.)
In similar best-trailer / worst-movie vein, it was done to great effect with a trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 and New Order’s “Blue Monday”.
The guy’s a modestly successful big-league pitcher. He’s no moron. Performing at that level requires a lot of the sort of brain power that doesn’t show up on normal IQ tests. Situational awareness, knowing the opposition, etc.

What’s certainly clear is that she has enough money now and until forever to not really mind how she is coming across to the general public.
If a nun really wants to help kids they should be blocking the entrance to their predator religion. Mind your own fucking house it’s on fire.
