Yes, but we are talking about a skill. No amount of playing flight simulators can make you a good pilot. No amount of watching Jackie Chan movies and imitating his moves will make you a good martial artist.

A skill can not be taught. It is acquired through practice and more practice. Solving problems, is a skill.

Or to put it in Morphues' words - there is a difference in knowing the road and walking the road. ;-)
