Well, there are three hundred million plus of us, so it is fairly easy
to find someone lacking knowledge to mock.

The ease depends on the proportion.

On the other hand, there
are a whole lot of us who do know how to read a map, look at a globe,
or send probes to the moon and the other bodies of the solar system.
In other words, by being selective, you can find any answer you want.
