Killing the Curious Cats

Colonel Korn had come up with a policy for the last-minute question asking at the end of the meetings. He said, that his genius policy was that the only people permitted to ask questions were those who never did. The effect that I imagined this would have was...nothing. The results would be nothing because those who never asked questions would never ask questions in the future -- so they would get a feedback of nothing. I imagine that this genius policy ended up making everyone feel discouraged to continue the meetings because everyone has curiosity that they want to share, but if they can't do that -- then what's the point of going? I feel like it does sort of remind me of school actually. Usually, in classes, there's the "same" group of people who always asked questions, and the teachers would get tired of not hearing any new voices. What I'm trying to say is, the teachers would say that they only wanted more questions and talking from the people that weren't regularly doing so. What does that lead to? It leads to nothing. No one ends up speaking up or asking any questions. That's exactly what happens in the book. Why? Well because it's the exact same policy, in a sense, right?
