Thoreau Blogs Against Rationalism in Physics

Here:

"And I was reminded that, however much we search for better and more progressive educational approaches, in the end there is no substitute for spending a lot of time working on a problem, constantly evaluating your work against the highest possible standard, and getting constant guidance and feedback from fellow students and a more experienced master."

No substitute for apprenticeship to an experienced master. Oakeshott and Polanyi would approve.
