No, that's all it takes to balance out the whole. One person who follows 
something with an intense, blinding zeal, is all it takes to balance out 
what the rest of the universe may think. They don't all have to believe 
the opposite with a great intensity. Think of it as a pie. 1 person has 
50% of the pie, while the other few billion people share the other half. 
They still have the same amount of pie, total, but the 1 fool has more 
than enough for anyone else.
