May be that is an extreme abstract/top-down thinker. Nothing makes much sense outside of the larger context or in a meaningless context. Or believing everything is inherently more complex than given. And complexity generally increases as grades go up.
e.g.
Q: If Mary picks 3 apples and Billy picks 5 pineapples, how much fruit do they have together.
A: I can't tell you how many fruit they have until you tell me where they live that has both apples and pineapples growing together.
...or the divergent thinker...
A: That's ridiculous; apples grow on deciduous trees.
...or thinking too much...
A: 11.5 (pounds)
