And Good Businessmen appreciate that it never hurts to massage the
customer's ego, and maybe even flirt a bit! Isn't there a saying that
goes, "A stroke in time saves nine" (or something like that)?

But in response to your question, imo it *is* getting to be more and
more rare over the last few decades. More working women, less "real"
cooking at home, fewer families together at mealtime, etc. Even if a
woman's mother imparted some level of cooking information to her, what's
the day-to-day incentive to put it to use and build on it?
