As for your points on learning by doing, I’m not sure what to think, but I appreciate and value them. I’m someone who tends towards textbooks and classes, but I’ve been slowly turning towards learning by doing. Both in theory, and in practice (ie. my life). At some point I plan on thinking about this question more thoroughly, and posting on LW about it. As for the question posed in this post, it’s on the condition that learning by doing is not the most effective method (which may or may not be a correct premise, at least in my eyes).

You could try learning by doing as an experiment to see how it stacks up compared to textbook methods.
