What do you disagree with? As for "did a job;" I'm not sure such a statement can be explained without coming across in the wrong way, dear Kyle.

The wrong way to learn would be a less efficient way, I suppose. Or a painful one, assuming that it could be done just as well without.

But that is the question, is it not?One knows that learning can be acquired in one particular manner after having acquired the learning in that manner -- but alternatives to that form of learning...

If you sit quietly and watch someone show you exactly how to do something, and then do it.

Isn't there an understood point of learning to eventually break from being a bot who simply regurgitates what they are spoon fed to being capable of educating themselves? How is it possible to educate...

That's you personally. What about something very simple, though? I was making the point that a mistake requirement isn't a necessity for every learning moment in the world.
View ArticleRe: Welcome
Well, the question to be asked here is -if a learning moment is so damned simple there is no excuse for making a mistkae in your first attempt -is it in fact learning? Or is it repetition -imitation?...

Ok, I thought this would be fairly obvious. A chimpanzee in a jungle shows its child how to dip a stick into an anthole to catch ants. The child watches, sticks the stick into the anthole and pulls it...
View ArticleRe: Welcome
And that is precisely what is learned. Nothing less. Nothing more.What if, later, there are no sticks available? Does the chimpanzee go hungry?
View ArticleRe: Welcome
Lol :)That's not the point. The point is that something was taught without a mistake, that it is possible.

View ArticleRe: Welcome
Each and every nuance isn't a necessary condition of merely learning something. There are a nigh-infinite number of ways to do something, so technically you never do the same twice, even if the only...
