Should "polygraph" not be "polymath"? The former is a lie detector! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Movsovic (talkcontribs) 09:56, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was a bad translation for the french "polygraphe" which means that he wasn't specialised in one kind of things. I'm note sure but I found the translation "polygraph writer". The word "polyglot" which had been used, has another meaning : actually Saint Real was a polyglot but it wasn't the point in this paragraph.--Ptitchka (talk) 21:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
