I think they know this but don’t have causality built-in. In the sense they aren’t incentivised to understand holistically. Kids around 4 years old are spamming with “why? why? why?” questions and I think this is some process we need yet to reproduce. (BTW I suspect they ask this as manifestation of what is going in their brain and not real curiosity as they ask same question multiple times)

I think it’s mostly because they are incentivised to answer verbatim as medicine students and not with their own understanding. RL methods change that.
