A search "gizmo measuring threading tool end width" did not produce a result.

Wouldn't that be an application that ball bearings and math can be used.

2010. When that was no longer the main source of getting information " They " switched to the internet. It has been the same song
and dance for millennia It has gone from Harolds, to Religion, to News, to Internet. Anytime there was a medium for people to
get information to gain clarity the powers that should never be hurry to jump on the band wagon to muddy the water back up
and tell everyone that the only source of reliable info is through " Them ".
A good book I had found on the subject is ' The Crowd a Study of the Popular Mind ' by Gustave Le Bon the original was published
in 1896. Not much has changed since then either. And probably never will.

Possibly. It could also be a thing of group control was mainly done through mainstream TV and news papers during the 90's toThen we have a situation where some people believe what is contrary to science and create rules that do not allow you to question the belief.

People with low education = easy to control
People with high education = not easy to control
Quote from a historian i am pretty sure was/is British : If you want to delete a nation/culture/people, destroy their monuments
Tesla, the real one not this elon prick, : Only a fool makes the same mistake twice
Einstein : universe and human stupidity have no boundaries
Someone on the internet : nothing is foolproof to a talented fool
Me personally : How the hell did we end up in a world run by really, really dumb humans???
Again me personally : There is no humanity left in humans, they just look like humans.
Thomas Jefferson : anyone capable of deciding about his people on the spot- should be shot in public << referring to presidents and government, and the fact those things need time to think through

Actually highly educated can be easily controlled as well. Would you like being told everything you've thought to be true is wrong. Would you like to be thinking in a way that would get you ridiculed .....even cancelled in this current climate ?
I don't think education is the full story, it's whether you want to take the time to look into things and question common beliefs. Being inquisitive is the key.
There's also the thing about wanting to fit in as well, many people want to fit in, I guess that comes down to human nature. Just because there's a consensus doesn't mean it's so.
By all metrics I'm classed as lowly educated.

You are right about educated people, but at some point they stop and fight back, and if history is a frame of reference, almost always to late. 
As for you, i do not agree at all, just your knowledge of computers sets you way above the "medium".

What worries me about when the educated fight back it's the young & healthy that pay the price.
I'm curious, always have been, mum tells a story about when I was 3 I managed to dismantle a lock and go for a walk to the shops with the dog in tow.
I was lucky my grandfather could do almost anything with his hands, and as young kids are they always want to be like their hero.
