This is an awesomely clear explanation of the thought process. I can see how "willingness to take on an enemy" or "willingness to speak for everyone" may be deciding factors in who boos and who doesn't. It also explains why booing only happens in large crowds (at sufficiently small events, everybody is in the same group). Cheers!
