16. maybe because it is irrelevant?

Other than playing a game of trivial pursuit, which nobody does anymore, of what possible use is this information to the average American?
Someone else mentioned critical thinking. That information is not critical thinking - it is memorized like numbers in a phone book. You might as well criticize people for not knowing a bunch of phone numbers.
