<p>I loved the article, but the ignorance of his students sounds a bit suspect to me. While I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge and expect that my classmates do as well, there is absolutely no way that a professor could ask 25 of us those questions directly and not get an answer to all of them. Yet this professor claims his Dartmouth students couldn’t answer one. I find that next to impossible to beleve. I mean, I’m not saying I know a lot about most of those things, but I could at least have given a quick, cursory, and reasonably confident answer to each one.</p>
