Yeah. Difference between learning for the test, and learning in such a way that sticks.

Also the difference between teaching someone to use a computer by having them write down every step, and somehow imparting the logic and thought process.

But it's _really_ hard to teach things through the practical application way, oftentimes, and generally fairly hard to test it, too.

Probably also takes longer.

But on the job, being able to logically think through what something is doing, and how to approach the problem is _super_ useful.
