      Common knowledge would be more appropriate. It is known by many people, but it is not basic as in obvious. It took a long time to know what we learn in a very “basic” high school biology course.

      And if you actually remember half of what you learned in that course a decade later, people ask things like, “where do you learn this shit?”
