what's your definition of great people and are celebrities considered great people? My take is that celebrities have big egos, and it's a story that sounds good. The fact is that 85% of children grow out of it, and I feel like that has some play into it. And then you have people like Emily Blunt, who goes around saying she, used to stutter, overcame it, etc etc. But then goes on Howard Stern and says she refuses to use the phone because she will stutter. Even Joe Biden said for decades that he USED to stutter and "overcame it". Until his campaign convinced him to identify as a stutterer.
