HN has emergent behaviour.
Like an ants nest or a physical human community or a corporation the behaviour doesn't reflex individuals or even necessarily the majority of individuals.
Shrug, I wasn't even saying the dumb things were common.
But I do think these emergent memes bleed across to real world issues.
While people think it's ok to think hundreds of years ago people were stupid and paid 'really' ridiculous amounts of money for tulips, they will also be susceptible to allow war propaganda like what's coming out of North Korea or Iraq. People are people, do we really think the North Korean's are that dumb they think their leader doesn't poop or see the whole Iraq 'Latif Yahia' saga.
