re: class--education is a big component, isn't it. Which explains why all my cousins and relatives back in Pennsylvania accused my parents of teaching us to "think above ourselves" when they insisted on sending us all to full four-year college.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
you put the rules you thin govern the situation into a system, and you mostly have no idea what the results will be

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Try this simulations with more than 30 cars, IIRC, and pretty soon you'll see jams appearing. We never put them in, but they were created anyway. They are also created IRL.
I've heard of this, and found it very interesting. Sometimes there will be traffic jams for no reason, when the highway is handling significantly less that its theoretical maximum traffic.
Although often it is slow people in the fast lane who are to blame....

Is it? How can we know?
The ancients asked Tieresias, and he confirmed that woman-sex was better using the finger in the ear analogy.

A study found a bizarre echo effect from previous accidents in the spots where jams were appearing for no apparent reason.

If I only had a brain...
the finger in the ear analogy.
Sex is better than sticking a finger in your ear? I know this analogy not.

It feels better to the ear than the finger?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I think you should be sticking your finger in your ear during sex.
Or something like that.

Quantifyably -- we get more of them, they involve more of the body, and they tend to last longer.
Really? We get more? Isn't the assumption that every guy has an orgasm per ejaculation, whereas for women it's more of an accessory -- women can have tons of (pleasurable) and never come. Ever. In their lives.
We can stack them one on top of the other, which is certainly nice, but it's not like all women can, or all women do every time.
From the article -- Dr. Lloyd says 5-10% of women never orgasm. And Kinsey said that 39-47% of women always orgasm, but with clitoral stimulation included.
That's really not that many, assuming the guys are orgasming close to 100% of the time for completed sex acts (I'm guessing there -- feel free to disabuse me).
As for the "laying there like your brain-stem is awol" thing -- I admit, I've seen very few females orgasm, but I've certainly seen guys do that.
