You gave your personal and degrading that the two of us "clearly don't like a challenge."

You crossed the line of learning by making that statement. You started the path to another argument - another argument that I'm definitely not in the mood for. So, Tenchu, because I don't have the responsibility to respond to you, forgive me for not responding to you from here on out.

Learning isn't just about facts. Facts are only used in school, where you learn something, and then regurgitate it.

Learning is more gained from discussions, theories, arguments, musings and everything of that sort. There are more opinions and theories in this world, than facts. And if we only considered facts as knowledge, then our intelligence would be handicapped.

What I find most disturbing, is how people don't understand this.

This is the reason I don't find people who complete high school, secondary, college/Uni as intelligent. All they're doing is regurgitating what they read. They can memorise, and that's it. Until they can improve and use that information to make their own theories and own studies, they will stay as academically blessed. They won't ever be intelligent if they stick to what they learn in college/uni.

Edit: It ofcourse, depends on the course/subject aswell.
