I just wanted to say that you have neatly encapsulated my feelings on
the subject: Stupid is in vogue.

My concern is that it will be for a long time to come. It is ironic
that technology is, to a considerable extent, what has made it
possible. So much is taken care of by technology that it is simple and
easy to be "stupid". You can get away with it. That suits the data
miners of this world just fine.
