Answers rarely are abosolute. Questions rather than answers can be spontanious, and lead to skills in analysis, extended implications, and produce new questions. Critical thinking skills can use a variety of "data fodder" that reflects subjects and contexts. Changing the input fodder changes the output interpretations and speculations and stimulate the quest for new input. These skills, as well as the input and analyses, create intellectual development that I consider the hallmark of education. When this is mixed with life's experiences, we have "educated people" that are diverse in specifics, dynamic in discovery and open for new insights. This is the antithesis of scripted curricula.
