I once saw a professor failing to clear a Windows' CMD with "clear" several times until he just gave up and kept working. It was so bizarre.

    Why bizarre tho? Lots of people have no reason to ever interact with Windows at all, so it would be odd if they knew how to use it.

    Because most people grow up on Windows and if you've used Linux long enough to forget about cls, you presumably know your way around a computer. Hell, I haven't interacted with a Windows command prompt in 15 years and still remember several commands so he either actually never used Windows or he had been using Linux so long that he legitimately forgot the most basic Windows commands.

    That's a lot of assumptions you're making.
    There are more people who are only experts in one ecosystem than in both. I only know something about Windows console because I worked as a sysadmin 15 years ago, but most of my colleagues didn't and even I will not for the life of me remember cls, and I don't think it's bizzare.
