I mostly agree, but there is a big exception: For beginners, it's very important to start with the right pattern.
The basic pattern is the cascade, but beginners often try to start with the shower pattern. The cascade pattern looks more complicated and less intuitive, but it's actually much easier to learn than the shower pattern.
It'd be interesting to document other physical acts where the intuitive motion is much harder than a less intuitive motion.
