Agreed. This collection of articles appears to be a mix of ranting about misconceptions and giving factoids, randomly marking them as misconceptions or as what's really happening. If you were not confused before reading any of it (I was not), chances are, you will be afterwords (I was).

This is the exact opposite of good pedagogy. Ironic, since it's supposedly aimed at educators.

It's not a collection of articles. Read the first line. It's raw notes, random musings, and uninspected WRONG CRAP scribbled out of order, on random bits of paper. In crayon.

> If you were not confused before reading any of it

If you watch discarded film-clips, all two seconds long and many of them backwards, expect to be confused.

The actual articles are at http://amasci.com/ele-edu.html
