Not to hijack a thread for a sub-topic, but...

It's hard to say where the lobotomy line is drawn for us, seems to me to start at the 14 level. Unless it is regarding the blue pill group. Seems they hit the lobotomy room much earlier, and subsequently float much higher in the bowl. I, on the other hand, am proof that you can be knocking on the 14 door without prostituting one's beliefs. Although I will admit it is a much slower journey.

That and having the nads to tell the guy with all the stars he is wrong. Definitely slows the career path, but it does make you feel good inside (especially when they're forced to admit).
