Well, for me that is my spontaneous reaction, because my brain works like that. Hilarious that you think people have other spontaneous reactions in secret. If that is your first reaction, how is that not then spontaneous? Did you mean to write "stupid"? I'm feeling a bit defensive on that subject since isn't it assumed rote memory eschews comprehension? I have excellent comprehension, and also excellent memory to recall were some of those bits of information came from, and no problem with sharing it so others can learn too, if they wish. There are lots of my own original thoughts in it too, of course, but if I remember a study that I agree with on the subject, I'll share it. Also, found out from the internet? Or books? Or teachers? Or other people? Is there something wrong with that in your eyes - do you disagree with the view that this is how learning works? Must all knowledge come from own experiments to not be un-spontaneous or "rote"?
