The Meat Puppet Theory

It is my conviction that for any group of 100 people, relatively, eighty of them will be natural meat puppets. Of the remaining twenty, sixteen will have become the equivalent of meat puppets through bad choices such as addiction, romantic misfortune, or politics. That leaves four, of whom some combination of three will be less proficient in any given field of endeavor than the one,  who in turn has a 50-50 chance of being wrong, in the short and/or long term.
