Yes, but also no.
You can't educate people who won't listen, believe the information you give them, or learn.
Willful ignorance is extremely common. I work in tech and I have persistent memories of people refusing to learn the most basic shit to help themselves, or change their behavior because "their way" doesn't work anymore, then insist I find a workaround so they can continue to do it whatever backwards way they've been doing it.
I once asked a user to open a folder on a shared drive on a server and I shit you not, they opened fucking word, went to open and browsed from there to the server.
That's the only way that they knew to get to the fucking files.
People are fucking stupid, won't learn, refuse to be taught, and want to remain as uneducated as they possibly can, knowing just enough to continue being employed.
