People who are supremely confident that they can easily distinguish the wheat from the tares are either purposefully ignorant or stupid (or both). It's not that easy.
Cardiac says "myriad" and then what's the example? Blacks and the priesthood.

Good thing Kimball finally listened to his close relative. I wonder if she got credit in the footnotes.
