(The fact that so much of our modern education system is based on the 'memorization/recitation' model and so little of it is based on the 'learning for application' model that we are left with plenty of people who can spew information, but fewer and fewer who can implement it, much less handle things once they go off script. I believe it was Zappa who said that 'information is not knowledge'.)
