I've thought about that too, and it makes me wonder if maybe wizards
and witches don't really *want* to know how Muggles live and operate.
They almost seem to go out of their way to perpetuate self-imposed
ignorance. They have set up a barrier, a thick black line of definite
separation between themselves and Muggles. To have a clue, so to
speak, of how Muggles are would make the black line more vague.
Which, perhaps in their collective mind, would bring them one step
closer to being 'known' by Muggles, which they are desperate to avoid.
But that's just one of my many trains of thought.
