I'm reminded of:

1. a novice follows the rules because he's supposed to

2. a master follows the rules because he understands the rules

3. a guru transcends the rules because he knows the rules don't apply

There's no way to skip steps 1 and 2. That reference tries to skip straight to 3. It'll never work.



The problem math education has is that 99% of it is thought by people who are still at step 1, while it should be thought by people who are at step 2 or 3.
