So true !
"oh that's incredible they managed to do that at that time"
"sir, that's a ditch, they just needed a shovel, you know..."
"but that's incredible they thought of it ! "

Yes, that's soooooo incredible...

You do not have to go as far as 2000 years ago to encounter the phenomenon : people in the Middle Ages too seem to be known for their extreme stupidity. That's wonderful how they managed to build cathedrals and all those stuff !
I encountered it lately in a article about neolithic houses builded on extremely wet soil, whose pilars had been reinforced not to... sink. I was so upset with the journalist saying how ingenious it was from people who did not even have electricity to heat the rice-cooker that I almost forgot the importance of the data collected...

So, an -ism is a negative way of thinking developed toward a certain group of persons ? That's an interesting word !
