    Actually, we are conditioned to think you are stupid, not ignorant.

    I don't believe that personally, but on the other hand the Backroom probably has a higher gneral level of education and awareness than your average Joe.

    But education is not a direct reflection of intelligence. If you are conditioned to think that we're stupid, what difference will the education make?
