Are they really that stupid?

[Fireball]

Your pets name and birthday are not questions that on their own should raise suspicion; they are not the same as asking what your credit card number is. That's the problem; most people have passwords whose information that can be easily inquired.

As the viewer you already know what to expect and are actively looking for these moments in the video. But these sort of lapses in judgement and attention are not unique to "stupid people" it's simply how the mind processes or fails to process information. Anyone who has taken an introduction to psychology course has been exposed to several of these types of videos.

The whole thing is odd. My sery first password on email and internet was "snv*ze8d". It dates to the early 90s and is not a password that I have used for decades. Still, I remember it from a time when Baud was a thing. Decades later, I still recall it, even though the provider is long gone along with any associated accounts connected.

William!? Is that YOU!?
