And that's good.

• Suppose hypothetically that one out of every 200 people or so is a jerk.

No, the fact is that once we no longer live in tiny tribes of 200, anonymity allows some people, who would have been assholes in a small tribe but who would have been sanctioned there, to go off and become jerks on a much, much larger scale.
