That doesn't seem better, I think lying to a student when asked a direct question is a pretty lame thing to do. Especially since the correct answer ("that indicates it's hexadecimal") is not complicated.
- const_cast 1y agoIt's not lying IMO, it's prioritization. Because, again, saying more correct stuff doesn't mean you learn better, and it could actually make you learn worse.
- coldpie 1y agoNow the student is going to walk away thinking 0x1234 means 0<unspecified things>1234, in decimal. That's crazy, man. That is not good teaching.
- const_cast 1y agoPersonally I don't think it's that big of a deal or evidence of much. Most stuff has to be focused otherwise we lose the plot, that's just how people are. It's the same reason why when you go to the doctor your doctor is going to not mention 90% of the stuff about your condition. It's not necessarily helpful and might actually be harmful.
