Thus you can find two highly "informed" people who can't carry on a
conversation with one another because each one is quite ignorant of what the other one
knows.

You can substitute "educated" for "informed." There are number of colleges now from which you can graduate with a BA or BS without ever having to read a single word of Shakespeare, or Plato, or Aristotle, not to mention Homer, Kant, Descartes, Locke, Austen, and all the other people who I think it is essential for an "educated" person to know. But that's snobbish elitism, I know.
