Re: "Fortune favors the bold (and the italicized ): Effects of disïuency on educational outcome"

[Peter Neilson <neilson -at- windstream -dot- net>]

Does this study begin to explain why I remember perfectly the parts of 
"ferre" (fero, ferre, tuli, latus) but not necessarily anything about 
the regular Latin conjugations?

Oh well, quidquid Latine dictum sit altum viditur.

The inverted view of the study is that anything that is seen as easy is 
felt unworthy of requiring effort. "Oh, all that stuff follows logically 
from the first principles, which themselves are transparently obvious to 
the most casual observer. Therefore I need not study at all; I can 
derive whatever I need on the spot whilst taking the final exam."

Perhaps Carl E Linderholm (author of Mathematics Made Difficult) was 
really on the right track.
