Not at all. I suppose we're dealing with an American equation here, so one must factor in the odd types of people in that country, and their celebrity obsession.

I'd say this:

T.C. is an eejit, given. T.C. = celeb y. Therefore, if Joe Soap, person x, adopts a "belief system" because celeb y has done so, then the foolishness of person x is exponentially proportionate to the original stupidity of celeb y.

And if Bob Lunchpale follows person x's example, then the same is true, until finally the earth careers into the sun.
