Ja to both.  Our methods of training for reasoning ability must be<br>
overhauled in a world where we have a relentless drive toward ever greater<br>
specialization.  The vast improvement in electronic communication just in<br>
our lifetimes has caused this shift toward specialization.  So now... we<br>
need to find ways to measure problem-solving and reasoning in a world where<br>
we don't need to be good at everything, or even very many things.  We just<br>
need to be excellent at something.<br>
