According to Descartes, he had always known that in real life, there are times when one just has to act on opinions that are clearly uncertain as if they were true without any iota of doubt. But at a time when he was devoted to searching for the real truth, he felt he had to do the very opposite - to regard everything he had always believed to be true as false and reject them.

Finally, the empirical demonstration should be followed by directly addressing the concerns of educators about any possible detrimental effect on reading comprehension skills as a function of any reduction in reliance on textbook-based learning. That component would consist of outlining criteria and limitations for using video-based instructional methods to ensure that it does not have any negative effect on that crucial aspect of primary and secondary education.
