Thanks for the advice, but I actually got this meme from Jim Halperin who impressed upon me how the destructive capabilities of the single individual have increased so dramatically with technology. True, his work was fiction, but the idea didn't strike me as silly. And it seemed to me that the more intelligent one is, the more one would be able to utilize technology for harmful purposes. I do probably watch too much TV though so you may be right.
