It is unwise to criticise methodologies when they give right results; wait for them to fail.
Surely we are smarter than pigeons. What’s to prevent us from implementing their tactic? We start off from a reasoned answer, allocate some resources (here, attempts) to exploiting it and some to explore other decisions (more, the more confusing the reasoning was), and see what actually helps. We shouldn’t become worse than pigeons at changing our minds.
Also, don’t assume children are stupid. You might be surprised. Or rather, you might prevent kids from having to solve problems and becoming smarter, so you might not be surprised.
