<A vote to retain sarcasm as a response to hubris, pomposity and a general inability to analyze or synthesize anything resembling data>

Flatsville's statement was only remiss in certain omissions:

I would have added at the end of that sentence, ... 'as well as an inability to correctly perceive, process and communicate data with any improvement over the next-highest life-form to the crustaceans, and, lastly, having only a capacity to record data (read-only) from others hypnotically implanting it at will, but believing such data is theirs, thereby resulting in a total and serious mis-identification of source. In short,... well, I would never call anyone a moron, of course, but I would describe characteristics of one.

I also would have substituted in that sentence: 'total' for 'general'.
