I know that Stein tried to popularize his point, but I expect that most of the movie went over the heads of most of the audience.

My impression is exactly the opposite: Stein made an intellectual argument illustrated by examples and by the unedited arguments of darwinists. And it went over the heads of the "intellectual" darwinists.They grew up being the smartest people in the rooms they were in - but they have eyes to see, but cannot see. And you can bet that there will be someone come along on this thread to heap contempt on me for saying so. But maybe I'll be small potatoes on this thread, since the starting article itself makes the same argument, better.
I think its safe to say that 'Blazing Saddles' would be over the heads of the types of people that went to see it.
