   The shark in _Jaws_ displayed symptoms of paranoia that were not   
   symptoms of being right when everybody else was wrong?  Or the other   
   way around?  Or what?   
      
   The hero of _An Enemy of the People_ was right when everybody else was   
   wrong, and ended up comparing himself to Jesus Christ.  That is a   
   comic illustration of a very common tendency.  Of course, it doesn't   
   make anything correct.   
      
   I think that you are bluffing and you think you can get away with it   
   because you know more names than I do.
