Many people are knowledgeable in their areas of expertise, but outside of it quickly adopt the beliefs they learned before entering school. More people are only knowledgeable in a rather small number of areas.
The bottom line is, most people are NOT curious. They are intellectually dead. New information that requires thinking or may indicate something inconvenient is their enemy.
