People who can not answer questions

Why does it seem that this planet is lined with people who have no idea how to answer questions? Those that know the answers are confined comfortably away from the average joe. This makes them disposable since they are not a component of civilization. Those individuals have proven themselves unworthy of the tools upon which they wield simply through their lack of use of said tools. In this age, we are blessed with a timeframe upon which people and ideas can be judged. It is time to place that judgement as necessary, and reaclimate society to its new and superior confines.
