For most games, there’s a guide that explains exactly how to complete your objective perfectly, but to read it would be cheating. Your goal is not to master the game, but to experience the process of mastering the game as laid out by the game’s designers, without outside interference. In the real world, if there’s a guide for a skill you want to learn, you read it.
This doesn’t sound like how people actually use them?
If it’s a puzzle, then sure, figuring it out yourself can be fun. But if you get stuck and want to move on...then don’t you pull out a guide?
(That’s not to say that this is optimal for learning skills or knowledge or other things.)
