“If three men are traveling along and one is confused, they will still get where they are going — because confusion is in the minority. But if two of them are confused, then they can walk until they are exhausted and never get anywhere — because confusion is in the majority. … In the same way, lofty words make no impression on the minds of the mob. Superior words gain no hearing because vulgar words are in the majority.”
– Zhuangzi, The Complete Works of Zhuangzi, Watson tr. (Ch 12)
