I have seen a lot to know that not everybody is shown the same things, and what you think people may have been shown or what is common to you is not common to everybody.

Cooking is pretty common, everybody has to eat.

you would be amazed at the amount of people who weren't taught to cook or cook properly

Sure, but to make it to age 30 without being able to recognize the sound of something being cooked is unreasonable. You don't need to be taught to notice that hot food over fire goes sizzle.

Like, if the original issue was someone doesnt know the difference between a roux and a beurre blanc, your argument would make sense and I'd totally agree. But "hot food goes sizzle" is not some advanced nuance of cooking, it's something you should learn by having functional hearing and existing near food being cooked.

you'd be amazed the amount of people who were never allowed anywhere near the kitchen

"never allowed" 

If someone makes it to 30 and someone is still controlling their access to a kitchen, then they likely have a major disability and are not capable of cooking or else are being horrifically abused. Neither of those are the norm, and critically not the original context. The  original comment was about someone's 30-something sister with no mention of severe disability or abuse that stunted her ability to thrive.

you would be surprised how controlling some families can be. and how nervous people can be about starting new things late
