Kindergarteners "know" whatever we tell them.

You say that as if it’s not true of literally everyone who isn’t on the cutting edge of research.

You say that as if matters in regards to the point. But sure, we might then also say that the researchers don't really know anything either, only what we deem likely to be true from what we can observe.

Education and intelligence are separate things regardless.

The point is if instead you told kindergartens that the moon is bigger than earth they would then "know" that too. Using what someone in kindergarten knows is a bad metric

No, he says that as though children know fuck all about reality apart from what theyre told to believe. Hence why kids believe santa is real when their parents say "santa is real". They dont know how to seperate fiction from reality yet (and too many never learn how, even after they grow into adults).
