    Multiplying ignorance.
    Quantum theory has the unfortunate side effect of allowing ignorant people to enshrine their ignorance and equalise it with a far more defined ignorance of far better informed people. Just because there's an area where CERN and say, dirt-farmers from Arkansas overlap in their ignorance doesn't mean that the dirt-farmers should be being consulted on matters of atomic physics. Just because you and I both don't know how to translate Sanskrit doesn't make us equals on the topic of ancient cultures.
