Your point of view is what’s wrong with education: we produce “graduates” that are juuuuust smart enough to do their tasks, but not so smart (or well informed, or disciplined with critical thinking skills) that they’ll start asking unwanted questions. A servile education, as opposed to what used to be the gold standard of liberal education.
As I recall, the application of the thought processes I honed during college (at a Jesuit university) did not endear me to several officers in my chain of command...lol!
