  Well, my first guess would have been religious leaders, followed by 
psychologists... how did the study decide who was nuts? Obviously they aren't 
using 'objective criteria' like blood chemistry on the long dead. My guess is 
that lots of people with non-optimal brain chemistry get by on good 
"software", while many people with perfectly good brains are running crazy 
memes on them.
