"...the textbook example of the old cliche..."
Is this an oxymoron, tautology, a cliche or is the use merely an example of "irony" in the Morriset form?
"Those who can't - teach" is often used by "those who refuse to learn" but more often by "those who resort to cliche rather than express themselves directly".
All of which ignores the reality that practitioners aren't always the best teachers. Often are but not always. Much can be achieved by scholarly abstraction and indeed disinterest. A practitioner often has difficulty comprehending let alone externalizing & communicating the internal codes, short cuts, intuition, experience, knowledge, context and GIFT they use to DO.
That said some level, if not artisan/artist/adept,of experience in the skill is essential to understand the difficulties of the DOing.
Let's face it we learn by a) experience b) abstraction & c) guided experience. The former requires luck and/or errors to teach & the latter tries to remove as many of the luck & error elements as possible. The middle one is , well, abstract.
