Why do we burdern the young with so-called facts. Most of them won't remember them and chances are that many of the facts are, in fact, not facts.

Some people regard the big bang as fact.
Some people regard God as fact.
Some people regard this planet being flat as fact.

Exactly, objective wrongs in their impermeability lack hypothetical flexibility, hence we are forced to pedagoguicise this way.

Objectively wrong things aren't very flexible, which affects how we teach people about things.

At least, that's what I think he said.
