Might the many be at least as culpable as the few for somehow letting a truly miniscule few have their way?
I like somewhat tidiness of the hawks/doves thing, but am hard pressed to think of there being many - if any - human doves not too far beyond the crib. To me it seems more like greater and lesser hawks - the latter rising to the beastly occasion when in the company of what they consider even lesser hawks, copping dove-hood when imagining doing so gives them an advantage ("a hawk in doves clothing"), whatever they imagine securing a bigger seed share.

In my eyes: no. Everyone should be allowed to be born innocent and implicit trust in others is not a flaw but something to be praised.
That being said: cynicism and mistrust seem to be better factors in subjugating one's will over others, so if that there is a measure of "success", then cynicism wins out in that regard
