Did I say that ...? No. Perhaps ignorant of things other than a narrow 
set of interests. You have repeatedly demonstrated this. Some of which 
you have admitted is willful.

I thought what she was wearing on her head was actually quite common, 
but maybe it's just in the U.S. that it's common.

Plenty. Some obscure, some very common, but not always common sense. Of 
course I don't know everything as evidenced by my constant searching and 
digging to find the name of a plant I've just photographed. Just try to 
identify a plant. In botanical and horticultural books, they have ID 
keys, but you literally have to have the knowledge of a botanist to 
figure it out. Sometimes (if I'm lucky, I can narrow it down to a 
family) but if the family is, say Fabaceae, I'm lost. It's huge and 
contains hundereds of species, all vary greatly, though they have one 
thing in common, they're legumes and their fruit is usually pretty easy 
to identify.
