Wow.
This thread is turning out to be more remarkable than I THOUGHT it would be...
YOU admitting an opponent has a valid point about something?
I'll turn some attention to a few of the other things you mentioned, probably after dinner.
But, I have to say, over the weekend I came across the following, and I was struck by how germane it seems, how well illustrated by the going-ons in this thread...

Oh, and I should make clear:
I rarely ever do anything for exactly ONE reason.
The clip above?
Not merely to corroborate a point or points made in this thread.
But also to make people aware, with many of the participants and readers in this thread being students of high school or college age, there are online resources you can use to supplement your education.
FREE ones.
That nearly anyone of even average intelligence can use.
For instance, if you just HAPPEN to have enough curiousity to check out the beginning moments of the clip above, you learn that M.I.T., one of the nation's top-ranked universities, has the bulk of class offerings and lectures available online, in fact, right on YouTube.
Like, nearly the ENTIRETY of it.
Use something like, say, the top-ranked tutoring site Khan Academy along with it
