It's the hundred-monkey-nexus!!! That's what it is!!!

Of course I'm assuming you're all aware of the results of a very famous experiment where they segregated and isolated a number of monkeys from a large tribe of a few thousand. When they taught about 100 of the monkeys in captivity a new behavior the monkeys in the wild started also mimicking the new behaviors - even though there was no contact of any kind between the two groups. This was repeated over and over with nearly 100% success rate. They found that teaching a smaller group of the captured monkey's had minimal or no affects. This phenomenon is referred to as "The one hundred monkey nexus".
