nah, he's right that it's an issue. i had the same shit when i still worked in academia and had to supervise students. the moment they have someone in range who they could ask a question, they just stop thinking for themselves. they'll ask you the fucking dumbest shit they could have answered themselves if they only spent a single moment thinking about it. for them it was not too bad, because they at least grew up occasionally having to think for themselves. i just told them to not be retarded and use their head, and then they could usually figure it out. but someone who has never had to use their head at any point in their life will probably have much bigger issues.
