Should you wish to debate with the HIGH AND MIGHTY EULER on this forum then these are the tasks you must pass before he will even think about debating with you :
1) I have explained to you how education works, and how making progress through any sort of educational system relies on the student learning and understanding topics, so they are able to solve problems based on the relevant material. Do you now understand this?
2) Assuming you've understood point (1), do you then understand that to progress an educational system a student is required to think on their feet, have a good understanding of that which has been learned and be able to think originally to solve problems. By all means counter this: if your conjecture regarding education is correct, then you will be able to answer all of the questions in the following exams on Black Holes, The Standard Model, SUSY, General Relativity, Quantum Field Theory. By your questionable thinking, all it takes to pass those exams is to have read the appropriate website/notes/book and to be prepared to "parrot" the work of others. I should add that you have rather a large advantage to those who actually sat the exam, since they only had access to the information stored in their brain, whereas you have, at your fingertips the worlds largest source of information. I should add, that failure to answer all those questions with relative ease doesn't do your standpoint much good.
3) I have pointed out to you that if you would like to talk about advanced topics such as black holes, you will need to take it upon yourself to do some learning (and take time to understand the material). Otherwise, you can only talk about very watered down analogies that are used to explain things to children and laypeople. Do you understand this?
If you would be so kind to respond to these points (I need to first ascertain that you've understood them), then I will provide you with a few examples of why you are ill-equipped to talk in detail about advanced topics such as black holes.

Euler the First, Ruler of this Forum.
