Agree with this. I think of education as a "series of increasingly smaller lies". If you try to explain everything right away with complete fine-grained truthfulness, you quickly get to molecular dynamics, and don't have to stop there. A common unspoken theme in the post is, the art of learning is knowing "what" to care about and "when".
