The prolific troll, "TheReturnoftheROMAN" is worried about global
warming and cold winters.  What does that have to do with televsion
and why was it posted in rec.arts.tv?

Who knows what he was thinking? He's just another conservadolt clueless
luser.

As is so often the case with such folk, the less he has to say, the more
he insists on shouting it in as many places as possible.

He's like the guy who barges into the chess club, jumps up on a table
and demands everyone start playing checkers. And he's taken about as
seriously...

ABSTRACT:
...the authors found that participants scoring in the bottom quartile
on tests of humor, grammar, and logic grossly overestimated their test
performance and ability. Although their test scores put them in the
12th percentile, they estimated themselves to be in the 62nd.
