I have not looked, but is it the incident regarding how (if I recall correctly) she answered the issue of a substantial number (/percentage) of Americans being unable to find the United States (if not another country) on a map?
Ah, yes. I saw a clip of it as well as a follow-up on Countdown.
As painful as it is to not know the answer to questions, I believe that not realizing personal ignorance (intended or not), be it willingly or without actual awareness, is far worse.
Such a notion finally arose after escaping the confines of high school--perhaps during the start of college, when an impression was formed upon overhearing a particular conversation that students (and likely people in general) may BS through things if it is nothing more than a matter of performing the task at hand.
(As a side note, I deleted the reply from moments ago (containing the same content) to avoid creating another thread. Thought I had already selected your response, so I apologize for that.)
