"you are helping to program the most complex computer ever created."

I get the basic idea of what you're saying, but that sounds like a lovely way to raise a serial murderer. Sometimes, engineering doesn't translate well to other parts of life.

Look at it this way: a parent is choosing a preschool and asks what training the staff has. At one school the answer is "we don't have any training; we just try to be good people." At another school the answer is "every member of our staff has an associates degree in early childhood development." Which school would most parents prefer for their children?

If ignorance is no virtue for preschool staff, why would it be a virtue for parents?
