My very uncharitable take, but one that I have to entertain as potentially true, is that this is the exact skill some teachers want to deprive their students of.

Unfortunately it also feels like our tiny bubble of sanity and reason is rapidly shrinking (witness the current conspiracy laden reaction to hurricane Helene)
