    I don’t really get it. Snopes says “mostly false”, but then confirms that the UK made a recommendation to replace analog clock for digital ones because “some students had trouble estimating the remaining time”.

    While OOP is a shortcut/overgeneralization, it doesn’t sound “mostly false” to me.

      It could be to deal with learning disabilities not the average kid which makes it mostly false.

      Also a recommendation doesn’t mean it happened.
