> This sounds chancy and vague, until you reflect on the fact that knowledge almost never arrives at the moment of its application. You take a class in law school today only to argue a complicated case years later; you learn C.P.R. years before saving a drowning man; you read online about how to deter a charging bear, because you never know.
Law students write papers, ER students to CPR on dummies, and when I learn any new concept, framework or language, I build something with it. Don't toy and learning projects count?

One could easily see a scenario where a robot is trained to handle a rare event and may or may not ever use that training.
