Worry day life is full of machines that many or most people know how they work. Few people if anyone know how everything from the plumbing to their computers and programs to their car and fridge and heater and door locks and more actually work. For subject matter experts or those with general knowledge it is true that often, even those with “above average” knowledge can seem rudimentary in another's area of expertise. We all have our strong points and weak points. It is probably best to have a good general knowledge of the laws and rules and mechanisms and politics that we encounter and interface in daily life, being at least reasonably sound in fundamentals like physics can help us to at least figure out what is or isn’t likely the case using deductive reasoning. That said- I’ve spent my life around cars and even many “car nuts” and technicians sound not much better than this guy when they speak on certain subjects surrounding cars. Everyone starts from a place of ignorance,

not everyone has the same opportunities or aptitudes for learning various things. They say they are no stupid questions, and some debate if that is true or not- but asking questions and listening is a path to trying to lessen our own ignorance. If you don’t ask a “stupid question” or research it, you’ll remain “stupid” most likely in that subject. Maybe some things we expect people to have learned by a certain age or such, but better to learn it eventually than never at all.
