-"... Perhaps it's because we have so much experience with "getting the facts out there" and seeing how easy it is for students to ignore or misinterpret any information that challenges their preexisting assumptions"
only students? how does that differ from any human being's "preexisting assumptions"? is it only poor, overworked , suffering academics who have to deal wit this tendency among most of the human race?
and when all-knowing faculty present these "facts", why shouldn't even semi-thinking students disregard them, given that , so often, eltitist types who teach , and condescend to their students deserve to be given short shrift?
and let's not get to the relative nature of facts, as presented by people who have absolutely no basis for arrival at these facts, that concern any material experience beyond reading, or watching, or listening to someone elses' alleged experience, and then delivery of these "facts"...
