In Derek Muller's gravity experiment, students who watched a 'clear, concise, easy to understand' explainer barely improved their test scores (6 to 6.3 out of 26). Students who watched a 'confusing' video that surfaced their misconceptions nearly doubled their scores (to 11 out of 26). The lesson: clarity can mask ignorance, while productive confusion forces genuine learning.
