people were "Science lacking", especially in the USA?
I used to watch Jeopardy every night. I noticed that even though these
smart folks could answer a question like "Who was the 3rd cousin of some obscure lord who ruled in the 8th century", on science questions, they often looked like Deers caught in a headlight.
The crowning incident was a Final Jeopardy question that asked "This spectral type G star is approx. 93 million miles from earth".
2 of the contestants got it wrong...Geez!
