OP Dear FF: your customary enjoyable post reminded me of an anecdote illustrating occasional merit of skepticism. A father of a girl applying to an Ivy League college among other questions on his part of the application was asked if his daughter had leadership aptitude. He felt compelled to be honest, and answered that while he could not say she had shown leadership aptitude, she was an excellent follower.
Promptly he received an acceptance, with a comment: "Since all of our other applicants have leadership aptitude, it seems quite desirable that we should have at least one good follower."
