My concern is that their family way of making mistakes concerning
nature or gardening is becoming vague and folks need total strangers to
attempt to fill the gap.

We who think we know must offer examples if anyone wants it. My kids
think we have a strange garden but no one has asked how to improve the
soil Yadda yadda.

Got to get dirty and interact with people.

Wow, a lot of snarky comments here. Actually I did think about
getting on hands and knees and seeing how many of the weeds I could
get pulled that way. I'm a little affraid that I'll end up pulling a
lot of grass out too because many of the weeds are vine-like. But I
assume the response to that would be that the grass will spread and
fill any bare spot left where grass was pulled out.
What do you think about my idea about cutting short and overseeding
the weeds and grass in a couple weeks?
Before I seeded I did dig the entire area so I don't believe soil
compaction is a problem.
