People learn in different ways. I remember details of 9/11 because they were surprising not because I read about them 100 times.

Did you actually learn anything from 9/11? I assume you supported war on Iraq and war on Afghanistan. Any lessons for current wars?

If you say so.

You won’t be able to change my mind with an empty quip - people can and do learn by being surprised; and other folks learn differently. I’m not sure there’s much room for debate about that, but if it makes you feel good, spend the energy.
