The worst software in the world is the software that runs in human
brains. Every copy is unique, idiosyncratic, comformant to no
standards, and maintained by an incompetent. Fresh out of the box
there is no input validity checking. The earliest validity checks
are received, unvalidated, from the nearest other brains in the
new brain's auditory networking space, and are always defective.
These defective checks are applied to any updated validity checks
received in later input, so the early-acquired defects tend to
persist for the lifetime of the product.

This is what allows a minority of brains, with disproportionate control
over the input of large numbers of other brains, to exploit the most
widespread defects in input validity checking, convert millions of
other brains into 0wn3d proxies, and use them to spam ballot-boxes.
