Wait, they're barren? How do you know they can't have babies??
Did the 'smartest man in the room™' just mistake barren [unproductive, infertile, unfruitful, sterile, arid, desert
"barren land"] for baron [a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices (originally with reference to prominent US businessmen in the late 19th century)].
You are now officially in 1st place for the prize of "grammar nazi" like a trained seal you easily fell for the bait, like a captious individual who cannot resist the urge to correct a spelling and or grammar mistake even in an informal setting. After pointing out the linguistic short coming in others, you feel a strange sense of twisted and un-constructive intelligentsia delight. Obviously all you have to show for that wasted liberal art education is your inimical personality and your status as a ' Grammar Nazi'..
