If you repeat what you think is a 100% correct version of the information, and the other person nods along, you can't be very sure whether they're just passively agreeing because they zoned out or if you were actually correct.
It's a bit like writing unit tests that fail, before you implement the change that'll make them pass.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoIt seems you also agree with stavros that this strategy seems more like a test of attention, then?
- Kinrany 3y agoIt does test attention, but that is not its purpose.
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoMy comment was about Retr0id's, for which I cannot find any interpretation that isn't describing the purpose as being a test of attention. If you have a different view, can you elaborate?
