Of course you're right, but I think you're missing the real point of the
blog post which is that directed apprenticeship may be more effective than
conventional education. Passive classroom education is cheap
(theoretically, at least) and easy, but active education--actually doing
the thing rather than listening to someone telling you how to do the
thing--can accomplish a lot more learning a lot faster.
