Though some websites define it as “practice makes perfect”, “Getting used to something is more important than learning it” might be a better translation.
No matter how many times you learn something by reading, experience out-beats theory.
Another Take
Sometimes, when you tackle a big, complicated project – it is helpful to get familiar with all the parts and tasks rather than jumping into step 1. Learning the index page view is important – understanding the high-level overview and how they connect before the chapters and details of each topic. Start broad and tighten the circles. Don’t skip levels.
If you force it you’re not actually doing it. It has to come from the entire body
