There is a bowl of what looks like candy, but is clearly labelled "poison". Literate people would know not to eat something labelled "poison". Illiterate people would be far more likely to think it's candy, eat some, and die. Result: fewer illiterate people.

Don't British people refer to busses as coaches?

And primitive nations could assume that coach means a stagecoach, perhaps?

I'm not British, I'm Australian, and we do call them coaches

Americans don't, however.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
