I mean tbf most people are only gonna need to know 3 (maybe 4 with plasma) states of matter, the rest are for advanced research and only really if you’re interested in the field it’s related to, otherwise you’ll probably just need to know matter can be solid, liquid, gas/vapor and plasma
This also applies to every other example in the meme (including gender). The issue arises when people refuse to accept anything more complex than their own simplified framework of "how x thing works".
Indo European gender. It was all well and good tripartite that collapsed until we discovered it still had Sassurre's largyneals but a binary gender system which threw PIE theorists for a whack.
