I think this related to the “critical thinking” skill that all my teachers always stressed about growing up.
But I still don’t know how to put in useful words what “critical thinking” is because it’s not one thing.
It requires synthesizing a lot of information together in very specific and meticulous ways. And through feedback, collecting your previous thoughts and keeping track of how often you are correct or incorrect.
You can explain critical thinking in many ways but none of it will teach someone critical thinking.
