A long time ago, I read this in E. E. “Doc” Smith’s The Skylark of Space:

He could study safeblowing fifteen minutes and be top man in the field

Even back then, I knew knowledge didn’t work that way. If your fingers haven’t done it, you don’t know how to do it. The more you do it, the better you get.

Go fix something!
