I'm grateful, at least, that Skye has contrast in Simmons, who has clearly studied and worked to become who and what she is (to the point where it gets exposited as a team-building point). I am less grateful that FitzSimmons infodumps get Skye flaunting the high-school dropout thing and demanding small words, in part because the dropouts of her caliber in the real world spend incredible amounts of time and energy on self-education. She would be able to keep up because she would have forced herself to do it, or she'd be faking it because that's what you do when everyone around you is clearly brighter than you and your brilliance has always been your selling point.
