Ken de Rosa accepts, and works with, my 'induction' model of learning, and I offer a reply. Where he differs is with regard to my scepticism regarding the transmission of content. "Certainly some 'recipes' are more effective than others for getting the same output," he writes. This may be, but in most tests, and especially simple tests, the occurrence of false positives is a significant problem. That's why I note in my reply that it is only through complex assessments, such as practicums or internships, that we can reach a high degree of confidence that a person understands the material, and is not simply gaming the system.
