I think about this from the opposite perspective all the time when I'm trying to learn a new skill or when I'm doing something out of my realm of experience, anything from server configuration to hanging a door: someone already knows the best way to do this. Over and over again people will configure their servers wrong and hang their doors askew because of the concept described here, even though the correct way is well known. On the flip side, there are some benefits: each person figuring things out for themselves undoubtedly leads to innovation, especially in realms like the arts. Still, I can't stop myself from daydreaming about some way to transfer door-hanging knowledge into my head matrix-like (my eyes pop open and I say: "I know how to hang a door!") similar to the useless way I sometimes find myself thinking someone should do something about that sun when I find myself driving west at sunset.
