academic virtue signaling. like people recommending TAOCP to people that don't know how to program or rudin (either one!) to people that don't know any math.
To me that’s just a subjective list the author likes.
The replies seem a bit on the level of “...but everyone knows really.”
I always took notions like “expert” virtue signaling to mean experts seem convinced we should all learn via the timelines they did.
Uni students versed in textbook physics, linear timelines for learning cause that’s how society taught them, are also experts in working cognitive theories. Incredible.
