That was a glorious post :)<p>&gt; <i>dung beetles 1.8m long, who have absolutely zero understanding about why we humans don&#x27;t just squeal with delight and scarf down the poop</i><p>You know how they say <i>&quot;never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity&quot;</i>, right?<p>The next level of understanding is that the aphorism has it backwards.<p>Instead, it should say something like: &quot;Do attribute to malice that which <i>looks like stupidity</i> and is harmful to the people&#x27;s interests&quot;. That would be accurate.<p>It&#x27;s not that they don&#x27;t understand what they&#x27;re doing. You don&#x27;t get to be a high-ranking politician by being stupid, let alone one of the people telling Congressmen how many minutes they&#x27;re graciously allowed to look at TTIP..
