Read the article. You are just reacting to a light skimming which is something that this article talks about is the reason why results like this happen in surveys because people don't actually consider what happens when they answer without fully absorbing what that would mean.
- coldtea 2y agoI'm reacting to the question. The article goes into a diatribe about the polling methodology which I don't particularly care about. That young people you wouldn't expect (like, not neo-nazis or something) deny the holocaust, I have empirical evidence of, however, as I do of their ignorance of most, if not all, major historical events. And for most with any (much rarer) knowledge, usually it's at a very crude level you'd get from a blockbuster, a video game, or a half-seen special on the History channel ("Egypt? I know of it, that's the place with the pyramids where they had cat's as gods and turned dead into mummies!") - and this includes people with university degrees.
