Or if a doctor has trouble with differential equations.
One of these things is not like the others. A doctor may not use differential equations in the daily practice of his profession. But I expect him to have well above average intelligence so that mastery of high school and college level math is not a high hurdle for him.

Is it important to know historical facts in the age of Google, maybe not, but should you be able to research, form opinions, make connections, draw conclusions?
Is it important to memorize Shakespeare or Thoreau? Unlikely. But is it important to communicate effectively, read and write with confidence, use context clues to make inferences, I’d say yes.
Is it important to be able to find the f of x? You probably will never do it again. But you will have to learn processes, problem solve, manage numbers.
And if you’re cool staying ignorant on how our planet works, then frick you.
