Not always, but there are many things that many people don't really
understand, even those with formal education in a related field.

For example, if you drop a heavy object and a light object from the top of a
building, the heavy object will hit the ground first--but if you say this to
certain physicists, they will instantly argue about it, without thinking it
through (it's a true statement). The angry young male physicsts are the worst,
of course ... angry young males will argue about a sunny day.
