It's very possible to be smart but just plain ignorant on certain matters, and Weinstein strikes me as incredibly ignorant in this area (his political "solution" is "we need a STEM PhD philosopher-king".

Wouldn't a philosopher king be one of the more likely types to want to run social experiments on his populace, though?
All those I've known have rather extended families they religiously keep track of. They can't not know. Maybe its sample bias on my part.
