He does have sources listed on his blog:http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2006/08/did-you-know.htmlI'd guessed it was a motivational piece taken out of context, although I’d expected corporate instead of educational. It could use a little of that context back. Maybe a couple of questions at the end about what kinds of skills translate from this world into the next and how we teach them.
