If you had to use CW to save someone's life, would that person die?

There's two ways to learn: 1. Memorize knowledge, 2. develop knowledge from first principles. Which has nothing to do with the difference between memorizing answers and learning theory. If you are learning theory that someone has already developed, you *are* memorizing answers. Showing that you don't know the difference between the two. I *memorized* Ohm's law for my Novice exam. I *memorized* the fact that 'I' is the letter used for current. Those weren't the answers, they were the facts that allowed you to figure out the answers. If you are not memorizing answers provided by the people who developed the theory, then you are necessarily developing the theory from first principles. The people who developed the theory in the 19th century didn't "develop" the answers to tests created in the 20th century. Avoiding memorizing answers to questions is a good way to keep making the same mistakes over and over. Then you must be an expert in avoidance, since you keep making the same mistake post after post. Memorizing theory is NOT the same as memorizing test answers. If information and test answers were the same, owning a book with the information needed to answer the questions on any test given in any public school would probably be illegal in all 50 states. |
