I find it problematic that a great number of subjects in school are taught 
this way, too. "Here's 30 examples. See if you can deduce what we're trying 
to teach you by showing these things."  Possibly because the teacher himself 
can't verbalize what he's trying to teach.

Even math classes do this sometimes.
