"Neither does the ignorant love wisdom or desires to become wise, for this is the harshest thing about ignorance, that those who are neither good nor beautiful nor sensible think that they are good enough, and do not desire that which they do not think they are lacking." -Plato, Symposium

it has been an object of consideration in the social sciences since at least 1964.In the hard sciences, it's called the 'drunkard's walk' and it can be a useful thing.
But the social scientists never really understood.
Math is hard.

I spent an hour once trying to convince someone (union electrician) that Obastard was a bad choice. The only thing he could come up with was “Well, we gotta do sumthin’ different”.
The moron was soon out of a job (as was I) as the economy tanked and the factory where we worked laid off over half of the workers and canceled all upgrades and modifications, keeping only enough electricians to to keep the lights on.
Hey, Ollie! How’s that hope and change working out for you?

Quite honestly, IMO, one of the single best web pages I have yet to encounter on the internet.
Masterfully assembled and seamlessly put together.
Thank you for posting this.
