Sometimes if people are told by authority that a thing is impossible, they will accept authority and not even try. 

I have long maintained that, although a perpetual motion machine is impossible, as soon as one is invented a better one will follow.

I'm absolutely part of the camp that says it only has to be 10% new to potentially be truly great or groundbreaking.

I'm also part of what I believe to be an ever increasingly large group of players that feel we would get points across better if we were talking to a brick wall.

You know that saying that has been attributed to Einstein regarding insanity?

No Ignatus...not calling YOU insane here

no we arent betting against the person sam, in fact we are betting on him if he is a "sometimes" or a "most of the times".

just 50-50, Even chances bet 0% house edge 



regarding your analogy, the keyword there is homework. homework will requires reading and reviewing of notes(which requires listening) which also belongs to "most of the times".

sorry i twisted your analogy a little bit 
though i get your point.

[TwoCatSam]

OK, then I vote "sometimes".

Something like......Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? 

Now Ben Franklin:  Experience is a dear school, but a fool will learn no other. 

There is something in the human make-up that says:  Hee Hee  They all failed!  They said it couldn't be done!!  I DID IT.

The guy who first went over the high jump bar backwards comes to mind.  And the guy who ran the first four-minute mile.

Wouldn't we all like to stand on the mountain top and yell, "I'm king of the world!"? 

Or not......
