I guess what I was trying to say with my rambling 1am slightly drunken screed, is that all of us swim in a sea of ignorance. I sure as hell do, I know little to nothing about mining, a lot of farming practices are completely unknown to me and the logistics used to coordinate the delivery of healthcare at a national level are frankly mind boggling (I live in a country with a somewhat functional healthcare system, ignore this example if you live in the US).
The biggest thing, IMHO, that seperates me from a lot of the younger (and older) people I meet and interact with, is that I am happy to say "I don't know." And if it's important I can and will go and find out how it works, at least well enough to approach the cliffs of competency and decide if it's worth the effort to scale them.
I cannot tell you how many topics I have learnt enough about to decide to eat the steak and declare that "Ignorance is bliss." Thankfully I haven't had to do so while betraying my colleagues to the agents yet.
