The numbers are interesting, but I think mtype projects too much of their opinion on the data. For instance, they describe the "elites" as "selfish elites". They also go on to say that "the selfish are more likely than non-selfish elites

Since you want to keep flogging a dead horse topic, I'll respond one last time. I think it is absurd for you to say that the Economist article was "biased in interest towards hackers because people can argue about how to change the laws, or
