      I have no science behind this (and am therefore a hypocrite) but I’m giving up on the assumption that people think. I suspect that most people feel and make decisions on those feelings.
      Thinking happens later, if at all.

        Replace ‘average’ by ‘median’ to be correct. The average can be distorted by especially dumb people.
