Agreed. Even after the theft, within one minute of talking to someone about what happened at Gox I can gauge how much they know about BTC the protocol.
1. They mispronounce it BIT CON, not to be sarcastic either.
2. They say "Its too bad those bitcoins didn't work." What?
3. They refer to BTC as "Something drug cartels came up with to facilitate drug deals and launder money."
When Tulips come up I feel like wringing someone's stupid, ignorant neck, really. And the concept of "buying power" and how it relates to deflationary vs inflationary currency is just straight up too difficult for some people to comprehend.

The world will be a better place the fewer Bitcoins people like that end up holding. The future does not belong to them.
