A smart person's fallacy is that more learning will yield a better outcome. (Note they've largely been rewarded for learning across their school career because that was something they excelled at). I've come to believe that in fact action should precede learning. That is first take action-- fire, ready/recover, aim (repeat). We think we can just learn to succeed, but in fact we need to learn in the right direction, which requires to first attempt it and gather feedback of where to learn.
