One thing that most scientists in these soft scientists already have a good grasp on, but a lot of laypeople do not, is the idea of appropriately normalizing parameters. For instance dividing something by the mass of the body, or the population of a nation, to do comparisons between individuals/nations of different sizes.
People will often make bad comparisons where they don’t normalize properly. But hopefully most people reading this article are not at risk for that.
