And much as we can dispense with the illusion that having the right ideas is sufficient to win over wrong ideas, perhaps now, correspondingly, we can surrender the assumption, routinely received and unquestioningly repeated, of the conclusive arrival of the New Intelligence as somehow presaged upon a universal return to peaceful common sense and consensus among countless cynics and naysayers. Of course such a proposition has tidy, diplomatic and democratic appeal.
