Wouldn’t the short-form version be “you can only misunderstand what you haven’t actually read”?

Otherwise, a reasonably bland summary of what the average human should already know about the subject.

Not sure if this was your point, but I didn't post this thinking people on this forum didn't already know most if not all of this. I think the interesting point is that it seems nearly 1/2 of the US population are weaponizing this misunderstanding by allowing these things to inform their political views.

That half of the population has been weaponizing ignorance and misunderstanding since well before Darwin.
