Not knowing is fine, but a refusal to learn is not. I think that's the major issue with first social media / short attention span content, modern media over-explaining stuff, and nowadays with AI. Even if they get an answer from AI they won't take it in, just pass it on / read it out / apply it to whatever they're doing now and promptly forget it.

No? And not what I said.
But an AI provider absolutely got some of the money I might otherwise have spent on a clockwork watch.
Suprising amount of people do not know how to read time from the "classical" watches and clocks (those with hands).
Reason is very simple - they dont own clocks with hands when theh are kids.

But... this is a condition that can be changed within 1 minute? (From "do not know" to "know").
Sure it takes longer to get proficient, but learning it is quicker than learning e.g. Roman numerals or how to tie a necktie.
