I generally learn more from what I do wrong than from what I do right---
sometimes because when "it works", it is not absolutely for the reasons
I had explicitely in view... so the lesson is less than zero.
And there is the classical joke about the experiment on a flea:
Researcher tells the flea: "jump!"---and the flea jumps.
He cuts one leg. "Jump!"---and the flea, with more difficulty, jumps.
He cuts another leg. "Jump!"---after some time and great efforts, it
jumps.
He cuts one more. "Jump!"---and the flea doesn't jump.
Scientific conclusion: when one cuts legs to a flea, it becomes deaf.
