Are we worst at the area we have graduated?

At your risk.


Today a nutritionist said she did not know that palm oil is used on cheap toast bread, cookies etc and that it can clog blood arteries.


Many medical doctor do not know it.


Why?


Are educated subjects targeted to be manipulated?


There is someone who have studied electronic engineering at one of the best universities.


Had he not made self study and experiments for many years after graduating, he would still believe that op amps and digital are good for music production or reproduction.


Of course the opposite may well be true and not only the advantages but the shortcomings of analog class A amplifier electronics are advantageous [Hamm].


Same for music. If someone had studied music chances are that he, she would never had come across the manual of Bach to his students [Bach].
