      Yes, and it’s especially obvious with the example of driving. Driving is a licensed activity where you have to pass a competency test before you’re allowed to drive without supervision.

      I’ve had the thought that a lot more things should be licensed with a competency test. Like, for example, I don’t know… This is just off the wall and completely random, but maybe a person who runs for President of the United States should have to pass the same exam that people take as part of the process of becoming citizens. Probably the presidential candidates should take a much harder test, but that would require a lot of oversight to make sure the test isn’t made to eliminate specific candidates.
