Thanks for the link. I was wondering where that clip was from. Reminds me of Feynman's bit from his time teaching in Brazil. The students there could stand up in class and recite the textbook description of Polarized Light, but when asked to identify it in the real world in the view out the window, couldn't. (The definition mentioned the example of reflected light, and there was sunlight playing off of water in the bay.)
