Spot on. I'm a part-time tutor and I get the same questions from my kids. If I college courses weren't as diverse as they were, I would have a really hard time explaining to them why Dr. Seuss was so damn awesome, or give them a 30-second explanation of what evolution is.
Plus I at least know what people are talking about even if I couldn't engage in an in depth conversation with them about their topic of interest.
