I've been doing a relisten to the series recently (I was making sure my dubbed tapes are in good shape before I send the copies off to you -- speaking of which, email me at megj at nwlink dot com so we can discuss logistics a bit further, if you don't mind).
I'm about halfway through Memory now (Miles is about to come the Vor Lord with Intent at Gregor [g]) so it's all fresh in my mind.
So you don't think Cordelia is a genius in her own right? I tend to think of what she did to foil the mutiny on Aral's ship in Shards and her engineering of Miles's replicator in Barrayar show a genius for at least tactics that she might have bequeathed to her son. I may not like her much in the later books, but I do think she's very intelligent.
As somebody or other said in, I think ACC, nobody's a genius all the time...
