I'd argue that not all knowledge requires a sophisticated understanding of the subject. For example, I have a very general understanding of relativity. It is not sufficient to argue with Q about it, but it is sufficient to argue with your general FTL crackpot.
coberst is right in that you cannot have a sophisticated argument about gay rights with someone with an "Adam and Steve" bumper sticker - but that doesn't mean that you couldn't have a VERY in depth conversation with them about something else - like quantum physics, or agriculture, or welding, or electronics, or something.
Interestingly, the word "sophisticated" and "sophistry" have the same root word.
