All it takes to change
Globe and Mail 8/9/2011

"To change the beliefs of an entire community," says Discovery News, "only
10 per cent of the population needs to become convinced of a new or
different opinion, suggests a new study done at the social cognitive
networks academic research center at Rensselear Polytechnic Institute.  At
that tipping point, the idea can spread through social networks and alter
behaviors on a large scale."

When physicians were given a gift a bag of candy they were better at
integrating case information and less likely to become fixated on their
initial ideas and coming to premature closure in their diagnosis.  --  Some
study I read about somewhere
