This makes me wonder how much my writing skills would improve if I retyped excellently written essays for a while.
I'd like to see a study result on that.
In Art History class I learned that a common way for great artists to learn to paint was by copying the work of the masters. I then asked the art teacher why it was a rule that we couldn't copy other famous historical paintings. I can't remember her exact answer but the times I haven't followed her advice and went and copied a great painting, I seem to have learned more. But again, I'd like to see a study result.
I'd like that too.
It makes sense intuitively, but if I can't find any evidence either way this'll probably seep into my subconscious now and at some point in the future I'll just assume it as true and adopt strategies based on that assumption, which might be suboptimal.
