I just started a new job, so to reduce anxiety about how much I dont know I'm trying desperately to hold on to beginners/childs mind - absorbing without doing my normal immediate '"let's connect this to all I know". It seems to be working, in the sense that I'm learning new material quickly without overwhelming frustration at not knowing how to do things or what a lot of terminology means, but I also have a lot more incidents like you describe - because I'm not yet trying everything together, conclusions about what makes zero sense are absent.
Still, at least in this first month, I wouldn't want to change methods.
