JW: What do you mean by this Gerrit? Is this a feature of
the American educational system? Are students to be
discouraged from discussing alternative theories,
hypotheses and propositions. We know the professional
approach is to sit on the fence and pretend to know
everything. But surely students should be allowed to
question, probe, dissect and discuss? What is the world
coming to?
John.
