"sit down with your own personal Watson"... "I think that's the power of lecture"
This does not follow. The virtue of a lecture can not be that you are getting personalized optimal Socratic dialog. Only a couple of people in the audience can be getting that at a time.
Optimal Socratic teaching will probably never disappear, but I'm still not hearing a lot of defenses of lectures qua lectures that still don't generally boil down to "It was good enough for me, it's good enough for them".
