At any rate, it would be a hoax equivalent...

Furthermore, I believe an argument can be made for a "content" course such as Hum 5 or Soc Sci 1. A large proportion of Harvard students were not exposed to this type of material in high school.

Certainly the student should have the opportunity to acquaint himself with basic material of this sort, as well as basic techniques, in Gen Ed courses...
