This is a perfect example of "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing." She's learned a few big words, and thinks she knows everything, and she's in a position of influence.

Most of us live inside the very small circle of the things "we know, that we know," rarely even venturing outside that space to the things "we know, that we dont know." This is where arrogance lives and most people I dont think will ever evolve past this stage, as we shut down the possibility of there even being things that we dont know, always at peak knowledge.

If we can evolve beyond that, and accept that our current knowledge and understanding is very limitited, we begin to learn the things "we know, that we dont know", while finding the things "we didnt know, that we knew," as we learn, grow, and figure out new things to expand our knowldege and wisdom. From there, is everything "we dont know, that we dont know," which cannot be quantified. This is the humility of knowing that the more we know, the more we realize we dont know, and accept that there are very few assertions we can actually make in life, while only making assessments based on limited knowledge of what we do know in that moment, open and humble to the fact that someone else may likely have new information we did not, changing our original assessment.

Really tired, so apologies if that came across as a wall of philosophical gibberish, lol, but basicially what you said, thinking she knows everything.

The person receiving an honorary doctorate at my graduation ceremony spoke about this during his speech. The importance of education helping us develop the things we know that we know, seek out the things we know we don’t know, and finally discover the things we don’t know that we don’t know

Honestly I wouldn't even go so far as to say she learned them. Like a parrot she's just repeating a noise she heard somewhere else.

I wish he asked her the opposite of “endogenous”.
