Is just complete bullshit and everyone who believes it is an idiot?

I was just playing guitar and I realize that you can use the g major scale and shift it up the fret board to play in basically any key you want. So I was thinking if musical notes are so interchangeable, is stupidity also interchangeable if you apply the same principles to something else? I don't know, but what is something that is very stupid, in a similar way to religious people?

global warming

The belief that America's government would never do anything bad to its own citizens
