DISCUSSION with Conrad Wolfram/questions

Question.How do we teach people how to ask the right questions. How can we question the formation of knowledge.
answer. 1. teaching questioning rather than processes.
2. we know that answer is right through corroboration. The author and reader of the document must be more interrelated.

Question . How do we get sources of clean and reliable information?
The naive questioner will not understand the impact of slight differenes of emphasis in the question?
1. Trying to put assumptions based in the questions back to the questioner in order to interrogate what the questioner really meant. We need to get etter at questioning.
Question. An example of something which was able to be done by Wolfram/Alpha which could not be done before?
Answer thinking about it.
Question . Will you let us know the algorithms behind your system, or will you, like Google, leave us ignorant of how answers are generated.
A.No reason to hold back info about algorithms as it does not goven monetization via ranking.
