Citations, please!

You are saying these things with massive assumptions!

edit for clarification: you are not using any sort of proof mechanism in your statements. No data, no citations.

Wouldn't it be great if you had a personal research assistant who would spend hours looking stuff up for you?

Wouldn't it be great if you had a conversation with someone who backed up their assertions instead of expecting belief?

I don't expect belief. I expect effort.

I imagine you doing the rounds at dinner parties raising your finger shouting "Citation needed!" over and over again.

Google: gatto, liberal education, conformity, obedience. My argument is a point of view, not a research study.

Gatto cites Dewey, for the record.
