I would have thought that if someone doesn't know what a dipstick is they shouldn't be driving, but here we are.I could maybe see that back in the days when OBD was new. But there's no excuse for that now. IMO if someone doesn't know what a CEL is they should not be driving.
Most people never take the plastic covers off the owners manuals. Drivers Ed classes are terrible at teaching kids how to drive, and don't even get close to checking oil, coolant or anything else under the hood. Let alone changing a flat, jumpstarting, checking tire pressure.
Ever notice how many people are at the gas station on the first cold morning putting air in their tires? That's because the cold caused the low tire light to come on. That is because they have not checked tire pressure since the first cold day last year.
