I already posted a reply, but since it seems that it got lost somewhere
inside deja, I'll give the gist of it again.
My students and I debate most of these issues, anyway.
My 'philosophy' is best captured by guidline #9: explanations and reasoning
are much more important than any God-like rule. I much prefer understanding
to following orders...
P.S If someone did see my previous reply, let me know. It is really
intriguing to know where it ended up... :-)
