I'm coming back to this years later, but, wait, what? How does one learn, then? How does one separate true stuff from false stuff without engaging with it, without wrestling with it, without trying to disprove it, without applying it?
When you don't know, you don't know what you don't know. How can you know, except by doing something intelligently accidental? Even if it's just doing the exercises at the end of the chapter?
You move in small reliable steps, making yourself stronger, so that eventually you can take bigger steps that you couldn't judge reliable before.
Ok. That's compatible with what I meant, even if it's not what I said. :)
