Imagine Not Knowing About Blackbody Radiation (Couldn't Be Me)
The bell curve of intellectual enlightenment strikes again. The 68% in the middle—our perfectly average humans with their 100 IQ—correctly understand that the moon merely reflects sunlight. Meanwhile, the statistical outliers on both ends confidently proclaim "the moon gives off light" with matching conviction but wildly different reasoning. The left side believes it because they never passed elementary science, while the right side understands blackbody radiation—that even cold objects emit infrared radiation according to their temperature. They're technically correct in the most insufferable way possible. Nothing says "I have a physics degree" like correcting people about thermal emission spectra at parties.
