    So maybe this is definitions of “understand” but that looks exactly what I learned in HS but for cell bio/dna, and I wouldn’t say I have the education to be making medical decisions.

    I may be splitting hairs at this point 🤷‍♂️.

      Right, the education to make medical decisions generally takes ten years after high school. You can really expect schools that dont specialize in a specific field to teach knowledge like that. High schools are for general education, and thats fine.

      The problem is that people who only have some hazy memories of their general education feel entitled to have an opinion about things they don’t understand and then think their opinion is just as valid as those of people who did take those 10 years to gain actual understanding.
