When you teach to the test you reject all calls for evidence, you are just fed and accept a proposition and move on. OUr politics and religion can only exist in a world where official proclamation is simply accepted without a call for proof, The authority at the pulpit, the authority on the TV, either will do, accept what they tell you the answer is and move on.
