I think a more fair way to state this would be “10% of college grads don’t know the names of all the Supreme Court justices.” As I recall from the reddit thread, the question wasn’t “is Judge Judy on the Supreme Court?” but “Pick the Supreme Court justices from this list.” I sure as hell don’t know Judge Judy’s full name, so I don’t see why picking her name as opposed to the other wrong answers is particularly horrible. (Sure, I bet some of the participants recognized the name and picked it anyways, but I doubt this makes up for the majority of the 10%)
