[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 3035268, member: 2525"] Hey now, I did my hard time in 3 years of Law School and then taught a bit as well. I know what the Socratic method is. And it's a tool used when one person is in a superior position of knowledge to another person or group of people. A student doesn't ever use the method, only the teacher. If Hyp's point was that he felt he knew the rules better than everyone else and therefore he needed to teach us all about the rules, then he's being arrogant and deserved to be called out for it. He knows the rules quite well, but not by so much more that he's reached a level where he needs to teach others the wisdom of his years in rules intepretation by asking questions in response to questions in rules threads. However, knowing a bit about Hyp, I don't think it's because he is arrogant, and therefore must assume he wasn't using the Socratic method, but was instead being lazy, or curious, or something else. Hyp had a point. He felt that a set of other rules outcomes might change depending on how one rules on Enervatiop. I think it's fair to ask him to name how he thinks they might change, rather than being lazy or curious and asking other people to name how they think those other rules will change. If he is willing to pose the questions, he should be first in line to offer his opinion on the answers. And since coming up with an answer requires a bit of time to look up some rules, I think the burden is fairly put on him to do that grunt work first. If nothing else, it will make it a lot easier for other people to offer their opinions if they see how Hyp thinks things might change based on some real numbers and averages. [/QUOTE]
