Being in a small group does not make one elite.During the OW course my instructor mentioned that cold water divers specifically make up a very small percentage of the world's population and that makes us somewhat of an elite group.
I think 'special' fits. I mean, anyone who would spend thousands of dollars to freeze their butt off just do they can photograph pretty colored slugs must surely have ridden to school on the little bus.
NudeDiver:The # of state governors is much smaller than the # of senators - however - I think most people would regard senators as being much more elite than governors.
Ah, but your answer is based on the duties and responsibilities, not the size of the group.I look at it exactly the opposite. A senator's job is to represent his state in the federal government. A governor's job is to lead his state. A governorship is a much more prestigious position, IMO.

That's true. But the size of the group is not why Walter claims they are more elite - it's just coincidental.Okay, go with size of the group. How many Senators are there? Today there are 100 senators. How many governors? I'm pretty sure there's only one governor per state...... Making them the smaller group.
