David,

I too thought your post was pretty funny so I asked
the question to my wife (who has 15 dives in the
Caribbean and is so new to diving she's lucky to get
20 minutes out of an AL80) and she knew the answer. 
I, myself, learned this about 10 minutes after
certification when I noticed (in a dive shop) that
there were different types of manifolds and tanks and
wondered why.  

I don't see how you could take that many classes and
be an instructor for so many things without knowing
this.  

I agree - scary.
