Inert information is any information a person memorizes, internalizes and accepts as true without fully understanding it. Often this information is in the form of generalities that are commonly accepted, but the person who accepts the information could not say why it is true. It is basically the opposite of critical thinking, which does not rely on memorization of generalities but rather a full examination of information in order to reach a conclusion.
Examples of inert information for critical thinking include facts or data that are not relevant to the argument being made, information that is outdated or no longer accurate, and data that is biased or unreliable. It is important to filter out inert information to focus on what is truly important for making sound and logical decisions.
Noble/inert gases
Inert Information
no, it is an inert gas, you are thinking of hydrogen.
Helium,neon,argon
One can find information on inert gases in chemistry books such as The Noble Gases by J.Thomas or online. Science Daily has a referenced article on noble gases.
'Inert' means that an element or compound does not (easily) react with some other material: Gold (Au), Nitrogen (N2), diamond (C), sand (SiO2) are examples.

Helium is chemically inert; it does not combine with any other element.
Examples (in the sense of non-radiactive): helium, oxygen, fluorine, argon, lanthanum, hafnium lithium etc.
This quote from Henry Adams suggests that education often focuses on memorizing facts without fostering a deeper understanding or critical thinking. Adams is critical of an educational system that places too much emphasis on rote memorization rather than on cultivating a true comprehension of knowledge.
Inert means they don't react. Group 18, the noble gases, are inert.
