What's funny is that you can guess the answer to these kinds of questions - if it was what you'd naively think it would be, then there wouldn't be an article, so you can easily guess the "counterintuitive" answer.
- chippy 11y agoHah! I also initially thought this, then I assumed it was because the most connected people were the most connected, and had more voting power. But I missed the fact about the others who were not able to connect with others around them. Increasing connections between those around you is the solution here, not disrupting the connections of the highly networked ones.
- ZenoArrow 11y agoYeah, you can look at it like that, but if you don't mind me saying I'd suggest that attitude is indicative of our approach to formal education, which rewards being 'right' regardless of how deeply something is understood, rather than rewarding getting something 'wrong' and learning why in the process of exploring further.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoI completely agree - I was definitely taught the skill of guessing the teacher's password.
- ZenoArrow 11y agoI was too. It's a useful skill, but I'd still prefer its use wasn't encouraged.
