9. It fits corporate/politcal/religious needs to dumb down the populace.

People who think and know the facts generally don't like the advertisers who pull the wool over the eyes of the sheeple who eat up simplistic solutions the same way they eat Frito Lays.

Likewise, it is easier to hoodwink sheeple voters into supporting the corporate anti-science climate-denying agenda.

Evangelical creationist megachurchmen (almost all men) benefit when people are foxed into denying evolution.

Thus we have an epidemic of teach-to-the-test rather than teaching critical logical thinking.
