IMO most of 'those that don't know' don't care to know and never will care to know. It's simply not an area of interest to them.
E.g. here's a recent story about Duchess Meghan: See how Meghan Markle's baby bump has grown since her pregnancy announcement last October[1]
Did you know she was pregnant? Do you care when her due date is? I sure don't.
We all have a finite number of minutes each day. Some of us spend time reading about picosecond lasers, others spend time reading about pregnant Royals.
This is not a value judgment of any sort. Neither of these interests is "better" than the other. They're just different.

- kbutler 8y agoI often share somewhat technical articles with less-technical friends and family. And I appreciate useful comparisons or metaphors to explain concepts. And I know a lot of people interested in welding that wouldn't know what a picosecond is, from a recent high-school grad to a woman who specs out building welds to some old-school manual welders.
