True enough, and of course that was what worried Ronaldus Magnus most about them. As Orwell said and I'm sure he would have agreed, "There are some ideas so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them." Aristotle always thought that whereas some disciplines such as mathematics required mere intellect, political and economic wisdom required the kind of wisdom generally bought only with age and experience, and that seems right to me.
