<p>Great story! When I was in graduate school I had the opportunity to teach some psych courses to engineers. One professor and I decided to try something with the students. We would begin with an observation of some typical human behavior. We would than begin to explain that behavior from various psychological and sociological perspectives. We would proceed to move further and further from the plausible to the ridiculously impossible. It was beyond belief (at least to us) how far we could take this. Eventually someone who stop us. For the most part, everyone else just kept taking notes.</p>
