Indeed. Again - paralleling the arguement for and against the Greek system - just because the stereotype persists and one or two people conform to the stereotype, that is not representative of the whole group.
It also allows the opposition to eliminate rational discussion of the topic if sane people are not willing to provide critical insight or to point out the insanity.
