Consider that “here’s how to do explorative learning” is also prescriptive. I tend to think of exploration as just exploring everyone else’s prescriptions, testing them, and seeing what appeals to me and whatever my goals may be. In that sense, I don’t think prescriptions are bad. I still think explorative learning is that way to go, but you need to have something to explore.
