I don’t typically feel it’s right to “blame”, for lack of a better term, poor or stupid people for their financial issues or their inability to acquire and apply new knowledge, so I’m inclined to answer yes to your question.

They’re still responsible for changing their beliefs, the way they speak, and they way they behave.
