I definitely find this to be true. I started with a little notepad calculation on the question of "what if we replaced all gas cars with EVs?" I started adding some details and eventually put it out for anyone to see https://www.capsulel.ink/capsules/what-if-all-the-gasoline-cars-became-evs-would-there-be-more-or-less-pollution https://www.capsulel.ink/capsules/what-if-all-the-gasoline-c... Kinda an amateur "publication." It seemed so simple but the more I work with the question it gets more detailed and nuanced and I also keep finding errors in what should be an embarrassingly simple calculation. I think putting things like this out in the world and getting feedback is another valuable tool. I guess the author talks about attempting to teach it, which is part, but I also think getting criticism from people that know about what you are writing about is very valuable too.
