For me, an issue is that the most popular frameworks are created by huge companies who primarily rely on ads and tracking data, so everything requires massive/complex server-side resources, which are too expensive for someone like me who just wants to make free and open source web apps. I was hopeful about the 'unhosted' movement 10 years ago, but it kind of fizzled, as seemingly have related projects like pouchdb and solid. I'm hopeful about recent posts using sqlite in the browser and w3's storage foundation, but they are still in development, not really ready for prime time anytime soon. pwa's and the like seem to not be in much favor anymore, either.
Browser vendors (controlled by the same huge companies) blocking websql and poorly supporting things like pwa are other examples of this issue.
This is how Western Governors University works - they have separate instructors and evaluators. Not sure how well it works in practice, however. I have read a few complaints.
One example today relates to teaching (in college). Most instructors (~75%) predominantly lecture, even though hundreds of studies have shown that increases the failure rate of students by 55% on average compared to teaching with some active learning.

We're losing hundreds of thousands of STEM major students because of that alone, disproportionately students from underrepresented groups.

Drupal has become more targeted to enterprise. For sites you're developing yourself, wordpress can do the same stuff as drupal now, especially with advanced custom fields (ACF). Another alternative is Statamic.
Indeed a private website does not seem a great place for a master list of anything. Github or Wikipedia seem like much better places. Since it is possible to extend discussion on the validity of any member of that list, or indeed add new ones.
The definitions given for these "logical fallacies" are packed with rancourous comments that don't throw light on the nature of the fallacy. The names given for them are not the standard names; the classical Aristotelian fallacies are usually named in Latin (and they aren't all there).
And indeed, a lot of the so-called fallacies are not fallacies at all, because they aren't a type of faulty argument or reasoning; they're just sayings.
Yeah the lack of open source prevented me from committing to observable, too, so I look forward to trying dataflow out.
Just in case this is of interest to others, some other open source browser-based computational notebook tools include:
* Starboard https://starboard.gg/
* And of course there's always Jupyter, but it requires a server component
And this isn't the same thing, more of a javascript playground (open source alternative to codepen and the like), but see also Slingcode: https://slingcode.net/
This article was written just to troll up attention for his book that came out the same year (2012) with a title that makes the bias more obvious: "Feel-Good Fallacies and the Rise of the Anti-Scientific Left."
I've never heard of the guy before, but it only took a minute of googling to find that out.
I recommend people try the "lateral reading" technique when you come across articles like this. Essentially, Google the source to see if it's biased and unreliable like this is. More on lateral reading and the SIFT technique (stop, investigate, find, trace)

There's actually decades of research on how to more effectively teach math, including the effectiveness of inquiry based learning approaches, which are more effective.
You seem to be knowledgeable in this area. Is it weird to ask you to summarize these links, especially in the context of the more concrete discussions in this thread?
