My issue revolves around courses that put too much focus on why and not enough on how. I've just seen too many of those. Using your example, I've seen courses that are likened to teaching the various denominations of coins, their origins, which metals are used in coin manufacturing, without teaching the employees how to operate the cash register. We don't need to drop the "why," but we need to make sure it doesn't overshadow the "how." I agree with your comment Deb.

We don’t need to drop the “why,” but we need to make sure it doesn’t overshadow the “how.”

There needs to be a balance of both how and why.
