This implies that we discourage corrections, which is not the case at all.

Here's a good cliche:

It's not what you say, its how you say it.

train wreck !
no
completely false assumption
if they have a BS in a technical field, perhaps (do you recall my tirades against that guy with an engn degree ?)
Joe 6pack is clueless, and subject to the everpresent allure of bullshit
and it is Joe 6pack's kids that are on OCers, crying for the spoon
And your concerned with these people who cannot discern good information from bad?

I would consider them a lost cause from the start... After all, if all they are doing is memorizing everything CORRECT you tell them, they aren't learning or understanding anything.

One must be able to tell the difference between good information and bad information in order to actually understand - without that, they are just memorizing.
