The “common knowledge” aspect implies e.g. other people not engaging with them, though. (And other people not looking down on Duncan for not engaging with them, although this is hard to measure, but still makes sense as a goal.)
I mean, I suspect I *am* one of the Chicken Littles, and here you are, engaging with me. :)
I would make a bet at fairly generous odds that no rattumb person who offered a negative opinion of Dragon Army will face social consequences they consider significant from having a negative opinion of Dragon Army.

My model of social consequences is that most of them are silent; someone who could have helped you doesn’t, someone asked for a recommendation about you gives a negative one, you aren’t informed of events because you don’t get invited to them. This makes it difficult to adjudicate such bets; as you’d have to have people coming forward with silent disapprovals, which would have to be revealed to the person in question to determine their significance.
