Much of what you (and others) have written is true.

However, I wouldn't totally write off the technique that ALL children use when learning to speak. (We babble randomly, and then gradually home in on what works.)

Of course -- and it's the difficulty with this BBoard -- we don't know the full details of the situation in this case; but imagining various possible scenarios, I find that I want to say: we are creatures constructed in such a way that we DO learn by trial and error, despite our conscious intentions.

It's not true of all endeavours, as your weightlifting analogy shows. But some people need to be looser with themselves; and Noverbuf might be one.
