Those people had teachers but no "schooling" i.e. mass produced education. No person prior to the twentieth century had the schooling that you have and yet schooling has now monopolized the legitimization of competence and learning.

They actually did. They went to actual schools - with standard programs all fellow students had to go through. Einstein specifically went to mass produced education and lived in twentieth century.

Compulsory schooling did not started in twentieth century. It existed since 18th century. Austria has it since 1774.
