Einstein learned math the traditional way, actually; despite the nasty rumor that he “failed math” as a kid, he actually taught himself differential and integral calculus before age 15.

And, Eichmann likely progressed through school normally, even through medical school probably. But there was something very basically different between the two. All I’m saying is that by forcing more degrees of freedom into the process, can they - will they - try to isolate the behavior they are looking for?

That’s a good point...everyone learns differently. I did not really GET calculus the old school taught way. The light didn;t come on until I did Excel spreadsheets with math functions. Ironic it was, as I got straight B’s in Calc and the light came on using a product that Bill Gates sold!
