Mastery comes from building and struggling with something, not reviewing it. You learn through the fight itself, through wins and losses that build confidence. Memorizing a fixed model never gets you there.
Our brains, for many of us that have been building things, it's a very different learning process in your brain to build and to fight. The struggle and the fight is important, right? That's the creative process. And a lot of people's learning is absorbed and it happens through osmosis during the struggle, during the fight of figuring it out. And that's important. So I know for me, that's how I often learn things by fighting and struggling and learning through the wins and the losses to get there. And then I'm very, very smart about a topic at the end of it. For me, if you gave me a fixed model and you just said learn it in the same level of intimacy and just review it, I don't know that my brain can actually get to the same level of confidence with it or that I could have the same level of deep understanding with it. We all have to find a way, you're right, to look at this and still rip it apart, understand it, know what it's doing right, what it's doing wrong, and be able to defend it as if it's our own. And that's a bit of a big mind shift. I don't know if you agree with that, Giles, but that's a shift for me.
