  1. The way is what matters. It doesn't matter that you answer "4" to 2+2 if you just always answer "4" to anything.

  2.  @Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer  The "answer" doesn't matter. What matters is that you have a method that can solve the problem in general. And even better if it's a method that scales well.

  3. Basically how the brain works. Unconscious calculation, conscious explanation a-posteriori.

  4.  @iseytheteethsnake6290  What's a less complex alternative to "linked list"?! Just because you don't know a word doesn't mean tge speaker is unnecessary verbose.

  5.  @akari707bangtan  Nope. Not everyone pays mortgages and for many people taxes are automatically deducted from their income.

  6. They shouldn't have to. That's what schools are for: providing education other than that of your parents.

  7. Not really. Often something apparently simple can only be solved by increasing the complexity A LOT. Like the question is something every first semester student understands, but the answer uses results from five different branches of advanced mathematics that really only make sense after introducing highly complex abstract concepts.

  8.  @nc4125  That person was completely uneducated then. Concepts and methods are build on simpler concepts and methods. There simply no way to explain a theorem in abstract algebra or topology in layman's terms. You first have to prepare the layman through years of schooling.

  9. I doubt it, but even if that's the case, it simply doesn't scale. You can't have every single teacher in a large country be a scholar. Nor do you want to. You need your smart people in research.
