Not surprising really.
The deterioration of basic science knowledge probably reflects our increasing inability to think critically.
The article scratches the surface to a much more serious problem.
We now have an industry, mostly via the Internet and media, where any Joe can pass himself off as an expert, attack the science, and wield great influence simply because many in the general population are unable to separate fact from fiction.
Climate change denial and the misinformed idea that vaccination causes autism are two examples.
