That reminds me of giving the advice, "Just do what comes naturally," to beginners. That's the last advice someone who has spent years building up an intuitive model needs, but it's terrible for beginners.
I have never seen so many kids harmed by bad pedagogy as “just do what comes naturally”. My daughter’s PE teacher gaslit her into thinking she was left handed with this advice and just created the belief that she was inept.
99% of what we do doesn’t come naturally, that’s why we are the most adaptable and successful megafauna in the history of the planet.
Learning is the essence of humanity.
Edit: you will be happy to know I fixed my daughters throwing technique with evidence based double blind tests to show her I knew what I was talking about and then taught her how to throw.
Take (again) dating advice: Saying something like "you shouldn't put so much emphasis on someone's looks" may help someone who is unsuccessful at dating and puts an inordinate emphasis on looks in their selection process. But if someone who already had a balanced view on looks that hears the advice, they may take it to heart and try dating people they have no physical attraction to and find less success.
Quote from a famous wizard.
tldr: Pottery class, 2 groups. 1 group instructed to make the perfect pot (graded by quality of 1 best pot). 1 group instructed to make a bunch of pots (graded by pounds of clay used).
At the end of semester, the group who was trying to make as many pots as possible also produced the single best pot of the class.
Lesson: You need reps. Lots of reps. You really do just gotta do what comes naturally, get feedback, then do more. Doing is the only way to learn tacit skills.
You can read about the best way to ride a bike for 10 years and achieve nothing. Or you can spend an afternoon failing a lot until you can ride a bike. Software architecture and code structure are similar. You just gotta produce piles upon piles of code and see what works.
The story features Jerry Uelsmann and having his class of photographers either work by quantity or quality of shots.
The specific example I remember was "you can only take 1 shot" vs "take as many as you can"; and the lesson being /the group that did many reps had ultimately better photos/.
