I am convinced that a lot of machinists are tactile learners
and cannot count the number of times that students have told me, "I learn
best when I can have the real thing to figure out as opposed to reading the
manual". My guess is that a lot of the people in this group are of that
ilk.

I learn best when I can fuddle around with the item for
awhile and then read a good manual/instruction later. Then I
can fill in the details I couldn't figure out. Things I
learn this way stick with me much longer than either reading
or playing by themselves will.
