Building understanding is like building muscle, it needs to be done against resistance and with a degree of struggle.

Building understanding, and then building intuition.

That one quick trick that gave some body builder/weight trainer the edge, without the accompanying resistance training is unlikely to work, but in their 'tutorial post' they emphasize the "burrito" part of their regime (the one unique tweak to their regime) - and neglect mentioning the hours of pumping iron.

Learning is integrating experiences into an internal model and with most domains of expertise this is more difficult than just learning rote facts.

I'm excited to see how a more general cultural experience with machine learning changes our ideas of learning from a facts-in-facts-out mentality.
