This is the equivalent in teaching people how to machine an engine, place piston rings, and service a transmission, when they need to just be able to drive.
No, I think it's closer to teaching people how to drive on city streets and highways, possibly even on the "wrong"-side, when all they think they need is to drive on a race oval. Sure, oval track learning will get them the concepts of acceleration, braking, and turning with the wheel, but they won't learn actual vital skills they should have for maneuvering the car from the garage to the track.

We talked about Transformers. [...] I never talked about "Super Girl" in this article.
"We"? fafalone discussed Supergirl (in which Milly Alcock is the lead actress) because you were first talking about Supergirl.
TFS: "... Supergirl
angel'o'sphere: "Is the main actress 'barely legal' As in Sexy, young like 16 or so? [shift to summer blockbusters like Transformers to make a point]"
fafalone: "The lead actress is Milly Alcock who's 26. You ok there?"
angel'o'sphere: "[I only remember Transformers, so I don't understand the flow of the discussion]"
Milly Alcock is not in any Transformers movies or television shows as actress or voice. That should have been clue #1 that fafalone was talking about the first thing you mentioned: the Supergirl movie which is the primary subject of TFA and mentioned multiple times in TFS.

The lead actress is Milly Alcock who's 26. You ok there?
She was not 26 when the first movie was made
Do you have reading comprehension problems?
And looking at her pictures, she did not play in the first Transformer movie, she would have been 7 at that time. (And she is blond, but brown haired)
The lead actress of Supergirl is Milly Alcock who's 26. She was either 25 or 24 when the first movie was made. She's 26 now in Supergirl. What the hell does Transformers have to do with anything involving this Supergirl movie?

Falling and burning satellite release particles of aluminum oxide cause chemical reactions that destroy stratospheric ozone. And the nanoparticles continue to do so while they drift down, which takes about 30 years. A typical satellite contains 30% aluminum.
I hear they replaced aluminum with aluminium. Problem solved.

While moderating, I accidentally marked this "redundant" but meant to choose "insightful." Wish there was a way to correct this.
Post a non-anon comment and the redundant mod will be reverted. You won't be able to choose insightful, but half the correction will be done.

it may be evidence of an innate perceptual bias that goes back way farther in our evolutionary history than previously believed. "We parted with birds on the evolutionary line 300 million years ago," says Aleksandra Cwiek, a linguist at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru, Poland, who was not involved in the study. "It's just mind-blowing."
What if bouba and kiki just sound similar to things in reality? bouba sounds like flowing water, which happens to have round curvy portions, including bubbles (named in English with a similar sound). kiki sounds close to crystalline structures breaking; glass, ice, etc. This results in sharp angles. Instinctively knowing that "bouba" type sounds might indicate water is useful to all life with ears. Knowing that "kiki" means "sharp" seems more useful for staying away from things though.
