I also think this is just how education works broadly.

Whatever information has been printed in ten million textbooks and distributed across ten thousand public schools by a legion of educators is at a stretch mostly accurate.

Our actual best understanding of the universe is whatever was just mumbled in a graduate seminar by a half-asleep emeritus faculty member who doesn’t really mind that nobody heard it, because they’re bright kids and one of them will work it out if they think about it.
