I agree with James, to a point. My dad is an auto mechanic (Don't worry, this becomes relevant) now if I walked up to him and asked " Hey dad is that a Buick or a Pontiac?" and he said "Its a Chevy". Lacking this knowledge doesn't make me stupid, just ignorant on the matter on which was discussed. But at the point on which I differ from James is that people could use more context clues and think about it first with common sense. If I see an unknown lizard with a person it would be better to say "Hey, what kind of lizard is that?" and not say "Wait a gosh darn second, that must be a snake because its flicking its tongue, why on earth do you got that iguana snake in this public park?". I mean come one, we all know what snakes are and what they look like.
