9. A bit more detail. Just a bit.

Higher income--which usually means higher education--and younger.

Having experts who decide whatever they think is best scores way higher--again, younger and wealthier skew less democratic.

How to reconcile those two results with the first, that a democratic system is best is a bit snarly. (Of course, the wealthier, better educated and younger folk would, of course, count themselves as most likely to be "experts" or at least "expert adjacent".)
