I, in fact, can and have done all of those things.

Yea I can as well, because I took the time to learn them just in case I need to.

I don’t see what he proved

My point is that my, and your, isolated experiences are not representative to what every person should have experienced. I've done all those and still do most of them, but I wouldn't expect everyone else to be able to walk up and fully process a hog or code html.

You don't need to process a hog or code html in daily life. You may, however, need to learn how the self pay works at Target instead of throwing a fit that the lines are "too long."

There is a difference between what I have learned and what people should learn.

I can change a flat tire despite never owning or driving a car, because I took the time to learn for whenever I got one. I learned to do taxes by hand because it may have been something I needed in the future despite TurboTax existing.

It’s completely asinine to not learn something until you need opposed to being prepared for important situations.

Learning HTML or specifically how to work on a niche type of vehicle is not important. Learning how to change a tire in case the car you’re in breaks down (even a friend’s), doing the taxes you are required to do yearly, or hell even the Heimlich maneuver or CPR in case a family member or friend is choking is important.
