nice stiffy.
Have you read the book "Freakonomics"?
I think you would like it.
The entire book basically challenges conventional "wisdom" - and shows that, as a whole, any group of people that form a shared consensus of opinion are overwhelmingly wrong. Usually the opinion is based on "Kool-Aid" rhetoric and clever spinning of the facts.
I don't have time this morning but I will comment more later...
