This is literally how I used to teach my math students a morosophic lesson.
Mastery encompasses both speed AND accuracy. The students knew this. Sometimes some of them would gamble on accuracy so they could answer extremely fast.
The gamble is that, if they’re right, they look extremely smart. If they’re wrong, no merit is earned in the minds of anyone observing.
To illustrate the folly of this, I did this exact comedy sketch with the student(s). I would ask the student for a really hard math problem. As soon as they were done saying the problem, I would blurt out an obviously wrong answer, then act as though I was very pleased with my performance.
The kids would object saying “That’s not the right answer!”.
I, playing the fool, smiled and happily insisted that I answered “SO FAST though” and continued to relish in my “accomplishment”.
They got the point.
If a sophomore is a fool who masquerades as wise, is a wiseman masquerading as a fool then “morosophic”?
