We actually agree, almost perfectly.

I contend that for some, including myself, they are an incredibly powerful tool for building an intuition. Not only after other studies, but during and before as well.

You say your part as someone who teaches, and that's important. Conversely, I say my part as someone who has learned and is learning.

But we are in almost perfect agreement.
