    Wondering if back in the day, encyclopedia salesmen made their living by pandering to midwits.

        I completely forgot about this until you brought it up but they had the platonic ideal of a midwit as the face of Encyclopedia Britannica in the 90s. https://youtu.be/Hxwin9XFbnQ

        That's a good marketing team.... decades ahead of the group even being formally identified.

        Salesman: “This encyclopaedia contains all the worlds information” Midwit: “You are wrong! There definitely is some piece of information it doesn’t contain.” *feeling midwit* Salesman: “Look, for 20$ you can prove me wrong. I’ll allow you to return it for free to my store.”

        I'm wondering why all this categorization of topwits, midwits and dimwits, and by their own rules, seems to be the creation of midwits.

        Topwits, Midwits... Bottomwits? or Dimwits, Litwits, and Brightwits?
