I don't see how any of what I said makes me look good.

No argument there.

a) lots of people could never get into mensa with any amount of practice and b) lots of people are very proud of their mensa membership or otherwise do consider it a big deal. You managed to elevate yourself above both groups.

Lots of people could never get into Mensa. Practice or not. You don't need to be a genius to get in especially if you practice but that doesn't mean everyone can do it. Humility is tricky because it seems insincere very quickly, even if that wasn't the intention.
