Cumulative Record. Chapter 13: Teaching Machines. Quote 19

[One] trouble with deliberately making education difficult in order to teach thinking is . . . that we must remain content with the students thus selected, even though we know that they are only a small part of the potential supply of thinkers . . . A more sensible program is to analyze the behavior called “thinking” and produce it according to specifications. (pp. 206-207)
