Then we learned that if you wanted to get the right answer from people ... all you had to do was confidently post an answer, any answer, especially if it was wrong ... and so many people would jump on you so fast to tell you how stupid you were and give you the right answer.

.... and you also had to tie an onion on your belt which was the style of the time.

I'm studying right now and I'm the lead for a group project. I've been having a hard time getting the team to actually talk with each other and come up with ideas. Someone told me the other week "pitch bad ideas badly". So I tried that with the title of our project I put down a shit awful name, told everyone about it, and within 5 minutes the team came back to me with an actual title
