Well, if our hypothesis is "most people are idiots" then the GCF of humans might very well be "is an idiot."

If that's the case then appealing to the largest number of people would seem to imply that you appeal to idiots, whereas anywhere that deters idiots will thereby deter humanity's GCF, and yield lower rates of adoption.

I built some "ifs" and "perhapses" into this, but I stand by my analysis.
