Then how come I have a "Measure Once, Curse Twice" sign in my shop?

Because:
1) Your momma didn't raise no stupid children?
2) You can learn from experience?

Pick one.

Seriously, I said the skill is increasingly being shifted into the

Think about the first caveman discovering a sharp edge on a rock, and finding
it made him more skillfull at killing his prey than did the older, blunt edged
