absolutely, and most people do! I encourage you to go around asking your friends and family this question (without judgement, and see if you can prod them along to the right answer on their own!) i think the world is better when the average person has a more accurate understanding of the tools they use (and contrary to popular belief, I think the average person is interested in understanding this, they're more motivated to understand things that actually matter to them, that are in their hands every day. A lot just have an emotional aversion to math due to bad school experiences, but they are genuinely curious)
