Insubstantiated

I fear, though, that the belief that crowds always display more wisdom than individuals is built upon the insubstantiated notion that people - individually and collectively - are always whether intrinsically or extrinsically motivated to do right and be the best they can be, and that this driver increases exponentially when people gather together. ❋ Karyn Romeis (2006)

And, when one came to think of it, he did not; a certain flabbiness of spirit, a lack of temperament, an absence, perhaps, of the ironic, or passionate, view, insubstantiated his work; it had no edge -- just a felicity which passed for distinction with the crowd. ❋ John Galsworthy (1900)
