Most people here know that is what I was saying.

It is called a truism. It is a common figure of speech.

Once a human is fully educated the differences become insignificant as we all know lots of different things.

And that is why exchanging information should be the goal of these threads not arguing.

Where it stands out is when the educated are measured against the uneducated and the more uneducated the more it stands out e.g. in Afghanistan they found many people did not know the earth was round and could not count. The was a major problem in putting together a military. Many were illiterate.

Literacy versus illiteracy is a good example.

The past versus the present.
