I was thinking of a few other questions I might have asked re. the firefighers / army.
Is there a difference between attacking from all sides, rather than multiple smaller attacks from the same direction? But, what if you can't get behind the enemy / fire?
For the medical example - would it be better to do from all sides (if there's nothing preventing you) or from a single side?
So is it best to talk about the patterns you see, or invite people to think first, then share your views & see rthe differences?
These are interesting questions, and I don't have great answers. I think the experiment was less concerned with the viability of the options and more focused on whether or not the idea of convergence was noticed and the degree to which the subjects could apply that pattern to another example.
I think the key is remembering to make the connections clear and not assume that the audience sees them. Many don't. I'd probably ask them to think first and then ask about the connections they see. Then, you can give them information that helps them form or update a pattern.
Thanks for sharing.
