Always it is thus with my new students, and especially with the human ones; the mind is the last muscle they train or use, and the one that they regard the least. Ask them about swordplay and they can list every blow from a duel a month old, but ask them to solve a problem or make a coherent statement and... well, I would be lucky to get more than a blank stare in return.
Christopher PaoliniBecause you can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's easier to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.
