Yes. Simply bringing in new knowledge or a demonstration of the use
of knowledge provides evidence that there are more options than may
have been thought. Expert use of available technologies is an
example, and not only "high-level" expert use is required. Simply
making the paradigm of intended use evident begins to expand the
learner's sense of options.
