Words are inadequate

There's this thing that I've seen mentioned once or twice, where when you start trying to do something you're familiar with, you feel /awful/ about it. Because you know what it is you're supposed to be doing, and how it's supposed to be turning out, but you're just not good enough (don't have the practice, the instinctual knowledge / muscle memory) to do it yourself. I imagine the whole "learn how to do it wrong but for the right reasons" way of teaching is a way to sort of address that. To get the fundamentals in place in a way that's easy to learn, and tweak the ways it's wrong afterwards.
