I think the psychology of the phenomenon is such that they can see

that the world consists of two categories of people -
the saved and the unsaved.
White hot born again believers are not the only ones who divide the
world into just two categories. Mediocre and nominal theists, as well
as white hot, mediocre and nominal atheists are likely to do the same.
But in the final analysis, there really are "only two types of people in
the world. Those who divide the world up into two kinds of
people.....and those who don't." (_Father Joe_ by Tony Hendra)

But haven't the people that don't group people actually put people
into a group of un grouped people?

Quite correct! No idea they had actual _words_ for it, but I should
have figured. Merci. ;-)

I have a dog and it exhibits a property hithertoo considered impossible.
It generates and sheds more hair than than can be accounted for by it's
intake of food even if you don't consider it's metabolic residue.
I figure 1.5 pounds of hair for every 1.0 pounds of food, water and air.

OH YEAH? Well you're an octothorne. (I had to look up a word, now maybe you
will.)
I am not and I stopped shaving in 1975, except for a narrow spot under my
nose to allow a SCUBA mask to fit....
<whisper> Actually I could not find a definition for Tressist. TRESIS is
about as close as I could come </whisper.
