Yes, it certainly would.
This illustration also reminded me of the line in Oscar Wilde's
_The Importance of Being Earnest_, where Lady Bracknell says
to Mr. Worthing:
"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance.
Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom
is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound.
Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect
whatsoever."
