Just like Windows generally, eh? Just like people stop eating Whoppers
when they discover how unhealthy they are, or stop driving SUVs when
they learn how much gasoline they use, or stop running for the American
presidency when they realize how it splits the vote against them in a
narrow-margin election?
Your premise -- that ordering your world view around people's having
"half a brain" is a reliable foundation for social behavior -- seems
so full of error despite clear evidence that inference from your own
principles suggests that you have the other half.
