"Isn't cretinism too little of something in him? Like intelligence! <vbg>" As I remember, cretinism is caused by a trisomy (too much genetic material). As you point out, cretinism is clinically defined by iodine metabolism (too little). And the French, socially define CRAY-tin, as rectal hyperplasia (colloquially, "asshole"). I don't watch CNBC, so can't tell you whether Cramer has short fat fingers or a goiter, nor do I know which end of him faces the camera. In defense of my conclusion, I point to the correlation of genetic cretinism with retardation. On this, we seem to agree. I'm glad to see Mr. Stromberg migrate here from the semi-conductor world. Ian, do you see many other of your old confederates moving to biotechnology?
