You also have to consider the point in time we are in. I remember seeing a graphic of an upside down pyramid showing that the amount of technical information increases something like 100 fold every decade. And the same is true in other fields too. (Maybe not the 100 times amount, but a staggering number) As an example, the electronics field barely existed thirty years ago and today we all have to retain information on how to operate the buttons on everything we own from cars and TVs to cell phones etc. No one can absorb all of the detailed information that is available today.
I think that's one reason most people today vote on their perceptions of candidates and issues vs. getting involved and wading through the staggering amount of information, both pro and con, true and distorted that is available.
