I don't think anyone says the public is stupid because they don't know what Dihydrogen Monoxide is. The problem is that no one saw the need to do a one minute wikipedia search for the term before panicking and calling the local authorities. Because that is stupid.

I'm sure most people did.

How many people actually called in? I'm betting a few dozen out of thousands (maybe hundreds of thousands) of listeners.
