Call it what you like. I agree our society goes out of its way to mis-educate people on the matter. I guess maybe the difference in my mind vs illiteracy and idiocy is that someone illiterate in a matter may still manage to put together that whatever they are doing isn't working and maybe they should try something else. The idiocy comes in when people know it's not working, and know it's designed not to work, but dammit if they aren't going to live that way anyway and complain the whole time.
