Gentle people.... I think that it depends on the individual who is trying to learn. Some think they can re-invent the wheel and need to find out for themselves that something is done one way for a reason. They kill a few trees and learn. Others, can benefit from the experience of those who have been there and done that.

And...when you think about it, it depends on the topic. An individual may fall into the first group when it comes to say collecting and into the second group when it comes to watering techniques... etc

I think Al may have been saying that if you feel the need...do the deed!
