I tend to agree with this for the most part. In most, daily life situations there is just no reason to know remember that it's Paraguay in South America and Uraguay in Africa, the difference between an isosceles and a perfect triangle or what have you, unless for whatever reason your occupation entails you knowing these things. And if a situation arose where you needed to know, the information is literally seconds away.
