Amy Bishop is so smart that she might have trouble relating to the world?
Above is the main catch phrase from Bishop's defence lawyer and he insists her history speaks for itself. It means he is adopting 'Res ipsa loquitor' from torts.
She was kind of a girl when she was very young that if somebody was talking about something and she felt they were incorrect, she'd say to the person, this is this or that is that. Surely there is something wrong with that troubled but brilliant lady.
