That is a load of nonsense.

I agree that logical and correct thinking is a necessity.
I agree that modern teaching misses the point entirely.

But even in classical schooling you don't start by teaching general 
relativity theory to first-year secondary school students either. 
You need to build it up.

There are simply so many exceptions and limitations that the 100% correct
diagram would be incomprehensible and needlessly complicated if you tried to
capture every aspect for the full 100%.
