An Internet denialist is basically a person who probably knows about the existence of the Internet, but keeps teaching as if it didn't exist. The main problem is that when Internet denialist has memorized something, he or she often assumes that pathology trainees should memorize it as well, and will waste time and effort from the pathology trainee to memorize facts that can presumably always be looked up in time of need, and sometimes even practically useless information (see '''[[Learning pathology]]''' for memorization-worthy information). In reality, when something is encountered and looked up enough times, it will generally get memorized, and apart from the necessary items listed in the [[Learning pathology]] section, it is generally more efficient to let time tell which situations will be common versus uncommon, rather than trying to memorize knowledge that will likely never be needed. Thus, dealing with Internet denialists is probably one of the most time-saving and ~~brains pace~~-saving skills of a pathology trainee.
