Every single day my Chemistry teacher would say to the class "95% of Americans are scientifically illiterate...don't be one of them". That always drove me crazy. He made fun of those scientifically illiterate Americans by saying how easily they would just take any fact by anyone as a true fact without questioning the validity of it. This drove me crazy because this was exactly what he was reinforcing by just giving us a fact and not having us question it.
