The way I understand the CONSPIRACY THEORY: As the mind forms it can be trained to generically look at what is provided and attempt to combine those parts into desired configurations. You end up with nodes sorted into a tree like structure where options are a first class citizen. What is commonly called the prusian system of education is more focused on hammering in lists of items. You end up with a smooth brain that operates in predefined steps. In this model the student is accused of lack of focus when they consider alternative options or if a new bit of information triggers seemingly unrelated thought. The chains of instructions are eventually tied into closed inescapable loops. If you later in life suggest to them that alternative approaches are possible they get furious as if you've cast doubt on their very essence which in a way you did. The story goes that the main selling point of the system was that it produces soldiers that can march to their inevitable death while carefully preserving formation.
