Yea maybe I am bit biased about my opinion because I understood probability easier using visual examples, but people who I have interacted with mostly also understand things easier in the visual form. So I think it maybe _the_ best method to teach probability because it will reach out to a majority of people, ofcourse, there might be people who might understand it better if explained in a different way, but that maybe a minority, so all the different methods can be tried out in school.

One more thing I would like to add is that everyone has a biased opinion of things based on their perception of the world and that's why I think there should be debates. Generalizing from examples and experiences is a natural method developed during evolution.

If a kid touches a hot plate and experiences pain, I think it is perfectly valid that it should generalize that to all other hot plates. :)

Very interesting link. After reading that I think I may be generalizing from my own example. So I'll keep an open mind - thanks.
