Americans! Are You In A State of Gullibility?

After analysing visitors from the USA to this blog, there are puzzling questions raised. Californians are the most frequent readers of Gullibility. Does this mean that they are the most concerned about being gullible? Might it mean they are most in tune with the tricks and technqiues of social influence and persuasion and therefore show a healthy interest in keeping abreast of instances of gullibility.

People from Rhode Island and South Dakota visit the least. Does this mean they are less concerned with gullibility? Could it mean that they are the most gullible in the USA or perhaps it means they are the most self confident and resilient to being duped and so don't need to read a blog like this?
