I used to assume the term, "Don't think too hard or you'll hurt your brain," was only used as a insult,(calling people stupid) but I realize it could be a compliment too. Smart, analytical(I don't think that's the correct spelling) people think TOO much, so saying that could nmean that you are telling them they will wear out theiir brains from overthinking everything.

Only problem is, if you don't use your brain, it will never get any stronger. No pain no gain.
