I personally tend to speak up when I know something about the topic at hand. And I generally keep quiet if I have nothing valuable to add.
I guess that could mean two things. Either there is SOME correlation between how much a person speaks and how much they know – which could explain the bias. Or, it could mean that I’m stupid to be honest and I should talk even if I know nothing whatsoever about the topic :p

Frank Luntz says, keep repeating your talking points. Just keep repeating them! Eventually the sheep follow. Off the cliff.

Useful study, but this has been common knowledge all along. When the mob chose to spare Barrabas over Jesus is an old example. Congress is another. That emotional intelligence succeeds over real intelligence is another well observed fact. How about making bad picks for mates?

I hereby nominate this as The Most Depressing Study Result of 2009 and yes, I realize it is only February. But I also recognize these findings in far too many personal experiences.
