Isn't there a syndrome that describes people who try to exert as much control/authority over a small but unimportant aspect of life?


I once saw a guy go into a juice bar that sells 12 and 16 ounce smoothies and ask for a 14 ounce smoothie.



I don't know what it's called, but many Wikipedia editors clearly have it. Here's a great example - apparently there are schools of thought amongst these guys, the most popular being "Deletionist". That's right: people who believe Wikipedia is too big and needs to be pared down. Makes zero sense.
