Not that that's true or anyithing but take a gander at the OP.
All I did was post the quote w/o comment.
By your theory the dunces immediately appeared and applied it to
themselves.
Those who are
truly insightful are also wise enough not to apply it publicly to

What would happen if they did?
Some dunce typing "LOL!"?

The quote is about a _confederacy_ of dunces.Can anybody name a real genius who was attacked by all available
dunces?
But wait! You may be on to something! "All Available Dunces" is
nothing short of movie title material!
Maybe the info age can somehow mobilize "all available dunces."
_Definitely_ a good horror film!
I like it.
Keep up the good muse work!
IP protection needs to somehow be extended to muses.
