    Perhaps making the Wikipedia people richer isn't in the poster's game plan.

    Esp. when the source paper is a click away "rob pike acme" isn't such a hard web search is it ?

    > smarter users won't open attachments from people they don't know.

    That makes them dumb users, not smart.
    Smart users know that malicious programs scan address books, inboxes and sent items and then send themselves out to the user's contacts.

    Which kind of means that attachments from known users are MORE likely to infect you !

    MIME is the security failure.

    My assumption is that height is distributed on a gaussian bell curve.

    The average height of the sample in the room will not be.

    But that DOESN'T affect the population at large.

    So, saying it is not true for 145, 95, 95, 95, 95 is a straw man.

    Did I miss something ?

    You said : "I don't think the common ancestor exists either."

    So, you are suggesting that spontaneously life appeared independently (at least) twice, one branch if living creatures evolved into something that includes chimps and the other branch evolved into something that included humans. Both branches evolved idependently by using the molecule we call DNA and it so happened that one particular members of each group (humans and chimps) have DNA with 96% similarity.

    That's one hell of a hypothesis.
