This is different than the question "Are you presuming most people are more stupid than you?"

It makes my skin crawl to say this*, but the answer for most people on HN is probably "yes, they are."

* both because people in tech are prone to Paul Graham style 'nerd martyr' arrogance, and because I often read views that disappoint me here and I do not like to admit that an intelligent person can hold them

Why does it make your skin crawl?

By a mathematical necessity, half the people can say “Yes, most people are stupider than me." without lying.

I would argue that "most" implies more than a bare majority. Say, 75%?
