For a more in depth review of this idea, look at Taleb's Antifragile. There's a lot of issues with this kind of thing, but it is definitely an interesting new lens to look at problems through. I don't think I'll be using these ideas in my designs though. The modern "Just works" philosophy seems to work way better than people claim it does. Sure, there's a few things that are arguably a true negative to forget, like cooking and such, but I am perfectly fine with the fact I've never needed to solve a calculus problem and I don't understand 99.99% of the billions of lines of code I use. I don't need to know obscure tech details because we have division of labor.
