MODERATORS
This kind of serves as a pretty good example, because despite the first part of this response reading like you were trying to hit a minimum word count, it conveys information no more effectively than the same text written more normally would.
this is elitism
you could be illiterate and still have strong critical thinking skills
Are you a critical thinker?
Or are you a contrarian?
You could "still have strong critical thinking skills," but you probably don't, especially not in the information-dense and highly complex environment that is contemporary life.
That's why it's smart to hedge our bets and try to make sure that everyone can read at least at a 12th grade level.
