In Nepal, this proverb is frequently used in political discourse to criticize leaders who are seen as incompetent but remain in power because the electorate is not fully aware of better alternatives. In remote villages, someone who can speak a bit of English or has a basic government job is often given immense respect, embodying this proverb. Professors use this to warn students against being satisfied with low standards. They encourage students to compete globally rather than just being the best in their class. With the rise of IT in Nepal, older generations often view anyone who can fix a Wi-Fi router as a genius, a modern application of the proverb.
