@foobardevs i think forgoing trial and error during search is not bad. Forgoing trial and error during learning is bad. When i search - I decided that I want to find the answer immediately for whatever reason - I don’t want to spend time deriving the answer. This works well for finding Wikipedia pages or someone's opinion, or even someone’s process of solving something.
In the other hand, I can’t learn calculus by searching for an answer. And if we pull in Gold's theorem for learning in the limit then we see that trial and error are one of the few ways of breaking faulty assumptions. Having someone show how to solve a specific problem is another way, but there’s a chance that their way will still align with faulty assumptions.
