>I doubt even 20% of people are really boiling the implications down in their head.

Well, (1) the people who are boiling the ramifications down in their heads still have no idea what the fuck is going to happen and (2) given how hard it is to figure out what's going to happen and what the fallout will be, the remaining 80% are perhaps wisely waiting for some other experts to figure it out and tell them about it so they know exactly what to freak out over.
