Couple Questions:
How did they determine whether listening to someone influenced a persons opinion?
Seems likely that in a given population, a minority of committed individuals like this would naturally self segregate, possibly even leaving the population voluntarily.
Did they model the continual rotation of population? Even the luckiest individual is around to spread his/her opinion for 100 years.
