Ugh. You couldn't be more wrong. We expect everyone to have a basic education about "how the world works". For example, there are increased calls to have the basics of personal finance be something that is taught in schools because the world is getting more complicated with respect to personal finance, and this is uncontroversial - knowing basic personal finance is a good thing. To use a well-known quote, "software is eating the world." Why is knowing how to code somehow different?
