Shit, unless you're a former Boy Scout, Girl Scout, or avid outdoor enthusiast, almost no one can accurately read a simple map. Throw in lat/lon and topographical, and they'd go insane trying to figure it out.
Most of these people can't even name the first 5 U.S. Presidents, the Bill of Rights, or even their own State Capitol, much less do math, read, or even spell correctly.
For as "smart" as the human race is nowadays in certain areas, we really are about as dumb, as a whole, as this species has ever been.
