Yes. The whole point of education is to send you out into the
world capable of independent thinking while also being good
citizens. You have to have coping skills, to face what life
throws at you and know how to respond. To do so, you have to
weight things in your mind, on paper, on a computer, in
discussions, wherever. And in order to do that, you can't just
accept what you're told and spit it... back out. You have to be
skeptical, to say, "Sounds good, BUT let's think about this for
a minute."
