And it's precisely because they're easy that people argue incessantly about them. A classic Internet subject that people do for the memes is the Celsius/Fahrenheit thing. I've lived in the US for ages and I have a pretty good gauge of the whole thing because I grew up with Celsius. Going between the two is trivial. C -> F is just double, chop off a 10th, add 32. Going F -> C is just subtract 32, halve, add a tenth. You won't be su...")

There are many problems with institutional nepotism of this sort.

If you found mastery effortless, you're rarely going to study that thing carefully and rigorously. Of course, the usual lesson is in being humble and curious about things and assuming that you do not understand them, thereby bypassing the idiocy of casual mastery and gaining true understanding of the underpinnings. But there is a flip side. It means that most such careful studies of things are by p...")
