An interesting, albeit intuitively obvious, sidebar to this is that we
should all be glad that there are stupid people out there. We should
be overjoyed that there are tons of stupid people out there. It makes
it easier for those of us who actually have a clue to take advantage
of them. It's a survival tactic on the part of the clueful.
