That is meaner than the other stuff that has been suggested. Making most Mormons think is punishment.

I did this all the time......when I was the teacher. Never as an attempt to embarrass or confuse but because thinking is fun and a faith that you can't explain and reexamine for new insights won't hold up to much of anything and either stagnates or dies.
