Are you kidding? I've seen tons of examples of people who believe exactly this, or near enough as to not matter. They are more prevalent than you'd imagine.

  To be fair, the world is huge. A "negligibly small group" could still produce "tons of examples". I don't have the data to say what the actual case is here - certainly, people like the above don't appear to be well represented in my social circles.

    Which is fair. But I'm also not willing to categorize prose as a "strawman argument" when it is the argument of an actual man, right in front of us.

      Agreed, in broad strokes, though we've some risk of running afoul of Poe's Law.
