The SIMS shuffle was a common term / joke. There were not classes on how to do the SIMS shuffle. How and when one was seen doing the SIMS Shuffle? Hmm, Often it was by poor and mediocre lecturers. As i recall, it was as much a term applied to the organization. Not always prone to straight answers. Regarding lectures and questions, it was not particularly difficult to "stay on message" -- that is the main points of a standard Intro lecture all teachers are trained in. Pretty easy to answer the range of questions that arise from such in matter-to-fact ways. IMO, some lecturers were unduly prone to going out on a limb with their lecurers. These at times prompted wierd questions. Some lecturers need to shuffle around to get back "on message." And MMY was famous for short humerous quips that cut off lines off questioning that he did not want to go. Like when asked about reincarnation, he would say "We are against that." Funny, and quite true and complete on a deeper level. Teachers picked up on that. Some such quips were sometimes seen as the SIMS shuffle at times, perhaps. Again, keeping on message, and difussing questions beyond the scope of the lecture, are hardly "lying". Hardly something SIMS teachers were trained to do.
