I think it's a true statement for me with the possible following exceptions:
- Guns - i know very little about guns and since many people hunt, maybe the average American knows more about firearms than i do
- Childbirth - Figuring than most women know more about childbirth than i do + all the fathers out there
- Christianity - Close call here. If you say "religion" i think i can pull it off, but if you start to get into Christianity in general, i might be exposed to the bible school teachings that i never received.

How about Abstract Algebra (check wikipedia), Particle Physics, Organic Chemistry, medical stuff in general (diseases, drug interactions, etc.). It would seem to me that there's a great deal of specialized knowledge that an individual has that the general populus doesn't. For example, I could probably name you most of the restaurants on Castro St. in Mountain View, but does that make me smarter than average? :)
