HLPhat: "The Socratic Method is an amazingly practical way of exposing pretentious poodlectuals, like you."

But you've used no "Socratic Method" -- none, zero, nada -- at best you've used a sarcastic method, but what it's really: a stochastic method for randomly selecting insults so you can avoid like the plague making any valid points of your own.

Seriously, why do you do that?

Evidently you find questions you can’t answer to be oppressive and insulting.

Why is that Professor Poodle?

============================

In fact, Socrates himself thought that questioning was the only defensible form of teaching.

In teaching, teachers can use Socratic questioning for at least two purposes:

To deeply probe student thinking, to help students begin to distinguish what they know or understand from what they do not know or understand (and to help them develop intellectual humility in the process).
To foster students' abilities to ask Socratic questions, to help students acquire the powerful tools of Socratic dialogue, so that they can use these tools in everyday life (in questioning themselves and others). To this end, teachers can model the questioning strategies they want students to emulate and employ. Moreover, teachers need to directly teach students how to construct and ask deep questions. Beyond that, students need practice to improve their questioning abilities.

Seriously, how's that humility thing coming along Professor Poodledorf?
