Because that learned them to work together. It wasn't the lying and stealing they stimulated [parents/teachers], but the teamwork it required.

An example: the boys in the training dormitories where given not enough food on purpose, this made them work together to steal more food. And the boys were punished for getting caught, not for the stealing itself.

Have they found the dead bodies of the 300 Spartans?

The site of the battle of Thermopylae was identified by archaelogists finding millions of arrowheads. As to the bodies of the Spartans, these with the exception of Leonidas (as he was taken by Xerxes and mutilated) where found and identified (by the use of the invention of dog-tags (a wooden twig with the soldier's name scratched onto it, strapped onto their arms)) and buried in a mound, resting place at Thermopylae with the inscription: 'Go tell the Spartans, stranger passing by, that here obedient to their laws, we lie.' Leonidas' body was later returned and he was buried at Sparta.


Did Stalin steal Trotsky's plans to get electricity?

Yes he did. Stalin said it was all his idea, and that Trotsky actually stole it from him, which was a lie. Stalin wanted all the merit and was paranoid about Trotsky coming back from Siberia (where he was exiled) to get all the power back. He thought getting the people to hate Trotsky was a good idea to keep the power for himself.
