Communism at the turn of the mid-Century was a question with an objective correct answer (no).This was a question that seemed to be more often than not answered incorrectly.But it required some degree of intelligence to even understand it.Smart people got it wrong more often than others.I wonder what other bad ideas that intelligent beings are also more likely than not to get wrong exist, outside the scope of human comprehension.
