I can kind of see where Comm is coming from. Having a medical/biological background myself, I knew that asprin acted as a blood thinning agent, but I wouldn't expect most people to know that. People generally only care about what medication fixes, not how it does it. Kind of like how you don't need to know how a computer works to appreciate it. It isn't a lack of intelligence not knowing the difference between asprin and ibuprofen, as I wouldn't consider it common knowledge.
yeah this. Years of working in a drugstore and taking nursing classes have let me know the basics of what most of these pain killers do but it's not really common knowledge. i think most people don't really care other than "this magic pill will make my headaches go away who cares how it happens" haha
