Whenever we embark on a journey to learn something, we go through a series of progression as our understanding matures. The best description of this that I have come across was from a book about Bruce Lee where there was this one paragraph describing how Bruce interprets a punch at different stages of his mastery of the martial art. It goes something like this. During the early stages when he first started to learn martial art, he viewed a punch as just a punch. But as he gains insight into the art, he viewed a punch as more than just a punch. Finally, when he mastered the art, he said a punch is just a punch!
This may explain why some novice think too highly of themselves and those with moderate level of knowledge disregard advice of experts!
