I believe he/she made a very valid point here. I cannot say I am a polymath either because I don't feel I've mastered several different fields or specializations. I like to use philomath to describe myself because it denotes a lover of learning. As far as I can tell, this is the only description I'll ever be able to honestly apply to myself. There's just so much to learn!!! It's great to see all these other polymaths/philomaths. We should start an organization or cult or something. :)
