I hope I know what I'm talking about. What I read is that it isn't any
*particular* 1% (or 10% or whatever theory you're looking at) which is
important; it's just that *at any given moment* studies seem to indicate
that only this percentage is actually working. The working/not working-ness,
if you will, travels over the brain so that all or nearly all parts are
used within a given time frame, probably a few milliseconds.
