[edit] Unencyclopedic

I'm not sure this is such a good topic for an article — seems a bit narrow and specialized, and I don't know that there's enough to say about the phrase in connection with Douglas Adams to warrant it. Thoughts? tgies (talk) 00:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Perhaps I should have made this clear earlier: I think this phrase describes a recognisable phenomenon that has passed into public consciousness and is in widespread use by politicians and other commentators. Douglas Adams probably helped to popularise it, arguably because he described the human predisposition so well. So it is principally a matter of culture and psychology. - Pointillist (talk) 01:42, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
