> Do you seriously believe that being publicly disrespected should be part of the learning process? Depends on the learner, the teacher and the lesson itself. If someone sweeps others at a firing range with his firearm, then getting knocked down and chewed out will probably instill a more lasting lesson that a quiet reprimand. If someone forgets to include a comment on a function, that's probably less important (although it could be, e.g. if that function were controlling a generator at a hydroelectric plant…).
