I would assume people goong “ok, so the wick burns but what is the purpose of the wax? Oh it’s the fuel duh”

If someone had asked me “what percentage of people know how candles work?” I would probably have answered something like “95% of those over the age of 5”. This is very disconcerting. Not that candles are terribly important, but just the lack of reasoning.
