Clearly. John Gardner makes the point in On Writing that teachers don't teach the books that are the best, they teach the books that make their point as easily and clearly as possible. Scientific experimentation at the undergraduate level is intended to illustrate the bright spots, not the gray areas and convection is fucking awful. It didn't surprise me to spend a month saying "no this is hard" only to be told "no it doesn't exist" on that basis; what did surprise me was the surety with which the argument was made.It is a great problem, though. It's deceptive.
