^^^^ Bullshit:
You can't have it both ways, either the "Japanese will never, ever question their teachers, for example. They'll remain silent rather than ask questions. Group is far more important to Japanese than Americans. Most Americans wouldn't have a problem calling a teacher out on his or her ignorance (got me in trouble a time or two...)" or they have and will (as I have pointed out). -

I understand about the baker thing. Some of those people are just too damn sensitive about their products, but it is VERY difficult to screw up an apple pie.
The crust can be too dry and flakey to the detriment of allowing the filling seep out. By venting the filling, you lose the elasticity of the bottom crust which will lend itself to becoming soggy instead of 'firm'.
Like I said, it is VERY easy to screw up an apple pie. -

The hood mentality is crippling disease, that attacks your nervous system. It makes you nervous of the system. Gangsters and hood rats are especially susceptible to this growth stunting mentality. The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am. The hood is where I'm from, but it's not what I am. --Keith David--Ice Cube

Another piece of Karate history that you may or may not know is that most of the well known names of historical Okinawan Karate, including Gichin Funokoshi had many teachers through their years of leaning. Some would go from teacher to teacher trying to learn this technique or that kata. Choki Motubu had to secretly watch his brother be trained by his father. He also got thrown out of dojos for bad behavior. Yet he would study as much as he could on his own and provoke fights with others just to try out techniques. There are all kinds of stories of karate students of old questioning, testing and eventually leaving their teachers. It really wasn't all that different from modern MMA philosophy.
