@Rudy1962 Observant. Not many get this.
Thank you for this. Any push-back on the mis-informers is welcome!
Stupid is as stupid does!
Do read
[en.wikipedia.org]
These are Cipolla's five fundamental laws of stupidity:
Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.
The probability that a certain person (will) be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake.
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.
Corollary: a stupid person is more dangerous than a pillager.

@Lizard_of_Ahaz When did Heinlein make that perspicacious remark?
@FrayedBear Actually he wrote in as a part of his book "Time Enough For Love" placing it in "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long" The second interlude if I remember correctly. The book was first published in 1973...
