Re: POLARIZATION



"Factoids", as Leigh calls them, are very important components of physics,
I think. What would be the purpose of "real conceptual physics" without
factoids? We learn some factoids, then we ask the "why" questions, we test
the validity of explanations, etc. I am sure Leigh would not deny this.
Perhaps the term "regurgitation of a received factoid" should be elaborated
upon.
