Tangentially related, but it reminds me of a quote by Nassim Taleb: "The curse of modernity is that we are increasingly populated by a class of people who are better at explaining than understanding, or better at explaining than doing." (from Skin in the Game) I think he said this with regard to school system (teachers and teaching). Taleb's bitterness often feels tiring and pompously unfair (albeit also funny), but I have felt something similar after years of working in journalism.
