I'm not sure it is mathematically/logically possible that half the human population be dumber than the average
Ahem. Did you not learn about the Gaussian distribution in high school like the rest of us did.
The few posters with a brain stem, prevent the thread from being turned into a disinformation campaign by those who are either of only average intelligence (thus not adroit with logic) or those intentionally disingenuous trolls. Which classification do you reckon applies to DooMAD?
Given that half of the human population are dumber than average, and if we estimate 25% of the population are dishonest (feel free to adjust this number, my view might be too cynical), he has 12.5% chance of being intentionally disingenuous.
Lol. But in order for your logic to work, you need to assume that he is dishonest with himself, i.e. blinded by their own ideologies, which I find to
actually be the case with ideologues.
