Sherlock Holmes told Watson he didn’t care to know if the Earth went around the Sun or the Sun went around the Earth. He believed human memory had limited capacity. Knowing the Earth Sun relationship wasn’t relevant to his work. If he remembered it, it could displace something that was needed in his work.
Unfortunately more people are doing that. Just shutting down and things couldn’t be more important now than since 1962. Jefferson warned about the need for an"informed electorate" and we need to be that.
