I would tend to agree with that one, Mark.
Tim's quote sounds like a variation of "The IQ of a commitee is equal to the the
lowest member's IQ divided by the number of people on the commitee". That was by one
of the classic Sci-Fi writers also, but I do not remember exactly which one.
By extention, "The IQ of a mob can be approximated by dividing the lowest IQ by
infinity".
And my own opinion, "Anyone in a large crowd who is still thinking will leave by the
nearest exit".

Sounds like something Robert A Heinlein might have said.**

I rather like this deliberate misquotation of Arthur C. Clarke: "Any
sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice."
