This is completely untrue and can be proven with this truth:
Most people do not know what the the term
'Marginal Utility' means but they use it everyday when they make purchasing decisions.
Reductio Ad Absurdum: Caplan contends that people who do not know what Marginal Utility means should not be allowed to shop on their own.
