The thing is, SR is the world's "ultimate fighting technique" in school. Outside of school and language learning there are more caveats. It's not always obvious which facts are worth memorizing, and sometimes we're not actually doing much new in our day-to-day work. It certainly won't in and of itself turn you into a 10X programmer. But neither will touch typing. It certainly doesn't hurt though.
