all knowledge includes quality and crap. The average citizen doesn't have the tools or training to discern the two.
The average citizen shouldn't need college level statistics and logical fallacy training to lead a comparably normal/healthy life.
But maybe there is an argument to be made to completely revamp k-12 with the sole goal of training people to be able to discern good and bad information.
Its not easy, plenty of professorial researchers fall for some of the same traps.
