You are referring to ideas by David Deutsch. He is a physicist; he deals with inorganic matter. His ideas on educating children are therefore irrelevant.

It doesn't matter that he is a physicist, because his thoughts on the subject are of a philosophical/epistemological nature.

We should judge ideas by their content, not by their source.

You are a chemist. Doesn't the same criticism apply to you?
