"The science dictates".

A good example of my concern about a rigidity and narrowness of thinking from parts of the Science of Learning advocacy crowd. 👇

Evidence suggests, but does it dictate? And why, so often, do the responses treat interlocuters as novices about cog sci?

@dperkinsed Inquiry isn't eliminated by long-term memory—it’s powered by it. The science dictates that you cannot execute complex inquiry without a deep network of automated schemas already in long-term memory. True inquiry is the reward of mastery, not the method for a novice.
