IMHO the clear implication is 'ignorant' - that's what connects the dots of 'uninterested' and 'don't know this fact'. Also, for intellectuals / geeks / whateve

IMHO the clear implication is 'ignorant' - that's what connects the dots of 'uninterested' and 'don't know this fact'. Also, for intellectuals / geeks / whatever, being uninterested in history is not a compliment! Not the worst insult ever, but why even go to the place of presuming things about other people? Still, I hope I expressed my objection proportionally to the comment; sorry if I didn't.
