    Not to confuse, but I think the idea of relevancy is irrelevant.  It may
not be relevant at the time being, or it may be; who could tell?  After all,
summarizing society as x or y is basically stereotyping, and if all
stereotypes have a supposed basis in fact, and everyone has their own brain
to view the world, anyone can make any generalization they want, and people
can bicker about which ones are correct.  I'd say there's no way to determine
relevancy.  However, should the idea become relevant, I think it'd be helpful
if there was no infighting.  That was all I was saying.  :)
