I am pretty convinced that most Americans who are illiterate are just lazy. They could do it but they don't care to or lack the attention span. Giving people a list of steps to take to accomplish something results in them giving up reading anything after step three and reporting that it didn't work. They'll say they followed all the steps in a guide, then I'll ask them about the specific step they clearly didn't do and they'll say they did it, then I'll ask them a specific part of that step and they'll do it and hey wouldn't you know it, the guide does work.
