NH=> To be literally pedantic here......the statement says that if no-one is
present the intelligence level is the same as when everyone is present.  It
reminds me of a slogan that was once used to advertise a well-known brand of
painkiller, which said:
"Nothing works faster than XXXX"....which was OK for many years until
someone pointed out that if you take 'nothing' then this will give faster
pain relief than XXXX......the slogan was then quickly removed from use.
