And others who can read, but not the language that their copies are written in? Would they even know if a jinn came in the night and swapped their copies for a later edition? And why would they care, if they didn't know what was in their book anyway?
Edit: I'm just drawing parallels with mediaeval Christianity. Folk then were similarly benighted.

Developing country doesn't mean "a place full of stupid superstitious people" anymore. they've focused on their education and improved level of education in their country probably enough to avoid being compared to medieval Christians.
