> If bad ideas are being communicated, then communicate better ones. This is assuming that valid arguments always wins. Anyone who's working with technical depth knows that when you start implementing something, your simple idea doesn't jive as well with the thousands of unforeseen caveats, edge cases, and real world conditions. The truth is always more complicated than a simple lie. It's similar to how eating junk is much easier than eating healthier, varied food, which is also more expensive. Exchange "expensive", and "complicated" with "requires more thought" and you'll have the answer. Idiocy always wins unless people make an effort. It's also why politicians talk like they do, and are extremely noncommittal. Speaking frankly about issues pisses off a lot of (pardon the French) idiots, who can't be rational about hard realities.
