	Don't confuse stupidity with the inability to be objective. And to be
fair, the latter is hard, and needs overt training. Besides, why the
belief that intelligence has much to do with survival?

	We're still quite ignorant about the human brain and psychology. When I
see stuff like:

	I realize that I'd be the stupid one to have pre-conceived assumptions
on what's normal behavior. Expecting people to be something other than
what the brain naturally provides, and not even being sure on what the
is natural for the brain, is ludicrous.
