So, I have a very good understanding of basic physics. I have a very good ability to critically think. I am, what I would consider, educated and intelligent.

And there was a time in my life when I googled "double male cord" because my snow-blower has a female plug for the electric start that is supposed to go to a converter box specifically sold by the company, and I lost it and didn't want to pay $100 for a new one.

Had I not paused and thought twice, I absolutely could've purchased one without thinking, or made one myself.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is, people can be stupid, even if they're smart.
