I know this because I have STORED this information in my brain so I can THINK effectively about a topic such as this. Don't discredit the value of storage in the development of thinking. p.s. There are very good liberal arts schools that still teach their students how to think. It should also be pointed out that Einstein's success relied on his overwhelming storage ability.
