-While early adopters may '''lead''' the herd, they seldom suffer from herd mentality. Clearly it's the mainstream, the followers, who provide examples of herd mentality.

-The word "lent" is the past tense of the verb to "lend", not "lended" - general grammer clean-up is in order.  <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/118.92.50.49|118.92.50.49]] ([[User talk:118.92.50.49|talk]]) 10:59, 27 November 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
-== Reality Check ==
-Does anyone ever do a reality check on the drivel that gets put in this joke book?
-Under Definition it says, "Herd behavior is distinguished from herd mentality because it applies to all animals..." like polar bears, and Buzzards, for example. Just two examples, off the top of my head, of animals that do not herd. Which shows that it does not apply to all animals.
-Then under "History" it says, "Herd mentality and herd behavior have been prevalent descriptors for human behavior since people began to form tribes,..." and then in virtually the next sentence it says these supposedly ancient "descriptors" that have been "prevalent" since time immemorial was first put forward by a 19th Century French psychologist. So what is it, ancient or recent, but it sure can't be both. [[Special:Contributions/87.113.249.252|87.113.249.252]] ([[User talk:87.113.249.252|talk]]) 21:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
