How would you define quixotic factor here?

aha

In that case I'll submit:

Elizabeth Warren: rich people (7/10)

EW's net worth is >$10m so she counts as high-net-worth, and my observation is that few people are caring about her crusade in the past year.

How much the mission resembles tilting at windmills, which is subjective

How much they’d have to pay people to care about their crusades is one possible proxy measure

I don’t think any amount of money would get me to care enough to join Ackman’s crusade against “plagiarism” for eg

My read was that a higher QF reflects a higher sense of idealism for the particular holy war (or perhaps, higher detachment from reality, pejoratively)
