  1. Do me a favor, and I'll shut up about the book for all time. Ask Stephenson why he said that only a "dozen or so" of the 589 people (a nice specific number) who visited Smith's loft and could be identified went to college. As I've demonstrated, after taking just a little time and trouble to check, that "dozen or so" figure is way off the mark ... and probably even more off the mark than I could determine because I couldn't track down the educational backgrounds of all those 589 people. In any case, I don't understand why an author would so carelessly state such an erroneous thing. Did Stephenson just take someone's word for it? Enlighten me, if you can.
