Well, I think one could then say that about just about anything. What I meant
is that, I think that out of the people who actually know what they're doing, there
are probably fewer than five to ten people in the entire world who might subscribe
to such a belief (of course, the group out of which they're taken isn't all that great
to begin with). That's about a near to no one as you'll ever get.
