<pre wrap="">I momentarily remembered a peculiarity of history. There are perfectly
adequate numbers of references, a few thousand years ago, that if you leave a
horse with a big pile of barley it will eat itself to death. Modern horse
breeders think horses are not that stupid.

<pre wrap="">I feel like there's a larger point to this anecdote, but I'm not sure what it is.
Almost all of my anecdotes have a larger point.
If you ask a current-day horse owner...I did...you will be told that horses given too much barley will eat themselves to death rapidly.
