Then stop teaching it

@ultimateman55 @Gief Grief How did you make that leap? How is my reply different from the first? Why triggered by my comment? In truth, you realise teaching it is silly, can cause problems, and know the solution would be to not teach it...but continue to do the silly thing anyway. You are in the exact right place, as far as I am concerned.

@ultimateman55 A scientist was performing an experiment. He placed 5 monkeys in a cage. In the cage, a banana hung at the top of steps. Each time a monkey went for the banana, all the other monkeys get an electric shock. Eventually, any time a monkey goes for a banana the other monkeys attack it to avoid being shocked. After some time, the scientists replace one of the monkeys...without a shock collar though. It tries for the banana, but gets attacked. They replace a second monkey, also without a shock collar. When it goes for a banana, ALL the others attack it...including the replacement without a shock collar. Over time, they replace all the original monkeys, one by one, with new ones never to have a shock collar Eventually, they replace all monkeys. They find, even though none of the monkeys ever got shocked, they have learned to attack another that goes for the banana... If you ask the monkey why they attack....there answer is nothing more than because that's the way it has always been done around here.
