Daniel Drezner has a post on how average Americans may be smarter than the elite. Consider a passage from one of the news stories he cites...
In fact, they inexplicably found that people who weigh a few pounds more than the ideal are less likely to die than those who weigh a few pounds less.
"Less likely to die..."? I am not an elite journalist, but I do know that every creature eventually passes on. The risk of dying is currently 100%. Living is the leading cause of death, folks.
