gollark: Amongst some subset of the population to be fair, not *all* of it.
gollark: Consider conspiracy theories. They are very stupid. They aren't very good for you to hold, as they may make you increasingly wrong about things. Yet they spread well.
gollark: I'm not convinced that the "if it alone leads to the development of modern science" thing is true, and I still don't agree regardless of that.
gollark: In any case, "spreads better than competitors" doesn't make it "better" in some way *for you to hold*.
