Why the Learning Styles myth spreads

What do learning styles matter if they're not associated with the learner, but instead associated with the type of task? If the standard she's using for support is the simple existence of different ways of teaching different things, she should be happy because there are different ways of teaching things, and nobody disagrees with her.

If she believes that different types of brains need to be taught in different ways than other types of brains, that's a far stronger claim that deserves some evidence.

It's kind of like the educational equivalent of this advice:

> The best exercise is the one you'll stick with!” is a cheesy, cliche answer that you've heard a thousand times before. But it's true. By the most objective definition, the most effective exercise is the one you'll do. Because heavy squats are fantastic for strength, unless you don't do them.

And someone saying, no you still get excercise even if you do the thing you're not going to stick with.
