A quote from this page
http://www.cc.gatech.edu/classes/AY2000/cs1311x/lectureSpring2001/test-strat2.html
describes the same sort of strategy:
“There was a lab at MIT that used to (or might still, I forget) have a teddy bear that you could go explain your problem to and ask it questions. You often would be able to solve your own problem rather easily, before you had to ask another.”
I’ve read about the teddy bear elsewhere (the page above was the first Google hit), but I don’t know if the story is true. It sounds right, though.
