I imagine there are some renowned physicians in Europe and Asia who also don't know that Toronto is a Canadian city. Or other arbitrary pieces of trivia for that matter. It doesn't stop them from being successful at their job.

Conversely, knowing which city has airports named after a WWII lieutenant and a WWII battle doesn't protect from malpractice.
