This is a question Amazing displays of ignorance

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

So I’m just about to go into a meeting with a friendly, but officious young man with ideas above his station:
He comes over to my desk as I’m listening to my tunes:

Him: Hey, Vagabond. Hey! What have you got on your headphones?

AV: Oh! Well, er … some New Model Army, a bit of dub, some Badmarsh & Shri …

Him: New … Model … Army … ?

AV: Yeah – you know them?

Him: Er …

AV: They’re a sort of 80s post-punk agit-rock outfit, er … prototype of the 90s indie band The Levellers? Er … I’ve also got some dub? You like dub? Like reggae? Bob Marley and that?

Him: I don’t know. I’m not really into music.

So when you read about Jethro Tull do you think flute-based prog/folk-rock or seed-drill inventor?
