Aw. I was hoping it would be Overwhelming Majority. How cool would that be?

Oh, I see, so you misunderstood the title of the article. Honestly though that would be AWESOME for real. It would make for a good party name or something, too.

Imagine a corp negotiator being told they'd have to deal with The Overwhelming Majority. They'd be shitting their pants all the way to the meeting.
