You can explain calculus to a monkey, but it hasn't had the background to know what you are talking about. Similarly, senior level organic and inorganic chemistry are required, to grasp the total situation of exactly what disodium inosinate is and how it works, which is a graduate level concern. To explain things using Sophistry techniques is even worse, such as in explaining what makes an airplane fly, "the pilot makes the airplane fly!" Saying it is an airfoil neither explains how airfoils work, nor explains how toy airplanes without airfoils work. A culture which trades in superficial truisms on exams, with trick answers often sold to students wanting top grades, will fall behind other cultures, no matter how many points they add to the SAT scoring structure to make uneducated people look smarter.
