Indeed: the original comment was not at all implying anything special about FTT. Rather that, perhaps whether we like it or not, knowledge is not very flat; you really should honor (as in: recognize and treat appropriately-nothing magical or moral intended) the difficulty of many topics by doing prerequisite study, or, if you can’t, just accepting that you will never have a good understanding. I don’t think it’s at loggerheads with just-in-time learning or the real opportunity cost of more extensive study. I think it’s just true that hard things are hard whether you like it or not.
