Not segregated enough to prevent intermarriage.

Wizardry makes forging documents, AND their reflection in distant 
files or computer databases, trivially easy. Maybe it also provides 
ways to learn Muggle skills, such as driving a car or speaking 
nother language or doing Calculus, instantaneously or overnight. 
Suppose there were a Potion that would give truth to the old school 
child theory that if you went to sleep with your head on an open 
textbook instead of a pillow, you would wake in the morning knowing 
everything in that textbook?
