I believe my exact language was: "Do any members of this list give any credence to the theory that a "cognitive elite/meritcoracy" is the ruling class in the United States, or is that something Leftists dismiss out of hand?" "Any credence" was specifically intended to avoid the charge of "either-or." Sometimes you just can't win. David Shemano
