They have an answer for that, of course. It's amazing how much trouble people go through to avoid facts.

I intended in my submission in using the word ‘range’ to convey from the very stupid to the very clever.

For some, that range can be very small.
Which would be a subset of the larger total range.

Why would they fall? I hope the employee is not a surgeon or military commander. Politician??? OK!

This woman is very good.

Reason cannot conquer willful ignorance. ("I know what I know; don't confuse me with facts!")

On a lighter note, I had a doctor who would JOKE about Columbus' fourth ship. You know, the one that fell off the edge? 🤣
