In one study, Support engineering students who prepared for an exam by using toothpicks and string did no worse than similar students who prepared by using an expensive computer with sophisticated graphics. ██ ███████ ██████ ████████ █████████ ███ ███████ ██ █ ██████ █████████ █████████ █████████ ██ ██████ ██ █ █████████ ████ ████ ███ ███████ █████████ ███ ███████ █████ ██ ███████████ █████████ ██████ ██ ███ ██████ ███ ██████ ████████ ███████████████ ████████ ███████████ ██████
Summary
In each of two studies, people who studied using cheap and simple methods did just as well as people using expensive and sophisticated methods. Therefore, you should not always buy expensive and sophisticated educational tools.
Notable Assumptions
The argument concludes that you don’t need to buy sophisticated tools from the fact that there are some cases in which simpler tools worked just as well. It does not, however, give us any reason to think that we would only want the more sophisticated tools if they helped us do better than simpler tools. We’re therefore looking for some principle that explains why, if the simpler tools are just as effective, we should use them instead of the more complicated ones.
