Some Things Have to Be Recreated, Not Explained
Explanation lets knowledge travel. We need not rediscover everything from the beginning. Yet knowing how balance works is not balancing, and reading about listening is not listening.
Some learning has to be recreated in action. A person practices a skill, performs a distinction, or encounters a situation directly enough for an idea to become available beyond the sentence describing it.
More explanation can help when the problem is unclear. At other times it brings diminishing returns because the missing element is participation.
A teacher can point and a text can orient. At some point the learner has to do the thing the explanation was describing.
