The vast majority of the people who get screwed by this will be undergraduates. Undergraduates, by and large, are learning things that are already well established. Basically, most of the stuff being taught to most of the people in college is already known. New textbooks are much more about generating income than about serving students. Education is being democritized, and there will be casualties. Tough titties.

Screw pedagogy. We need teachers that have some degree of expertise in the subject they are teaching.
