> But if you are talking about actual metrics, the ones used to measure intelligence, regurgitating facts is only a small part of that... Your rebuttal is refuted by the entirety of our education system. Regurgitating facts is the /only/ measurement for intelligence in the US Education system. Does the system care about details? Only memorized dates, times, and locations. Does the system care about the why or how? Nope. That would require thought. Thought may instigate unrest. Unrest may lead to rebellion or revolution. The education system only cares about your ability to memorize nonsensical data and regurgitate it at will.
