This AM, a software developer comes over to fix my computer he had just bought a new dimmer for his living room lights. Doesn't even realize that you can't use a conventional dimmer with compact fluorescent lights. "They are the same, right?"[1]

[1] Add: By that, I mean he isn't aware of the things he isn't aware of.

Ease up on the geek rhetoric until you walk in his shoes.
