Few days ago I bumped into my ex-student. She had graduated from college, then I asked her, what did she do. She was working for a drug company, researching for the cure for cancer. Then, she asked me back. I said, I was working for this organization in which Sri Mulyani was the Managing Director. She frowned and asked, "Who's Sri Mulyani?".

If that had happened during our debating class, she would've been given plenty of homeworks. But considering what she did for a living, somehow general knowledge was no longer significant.
