> Posts by Susan Fowler "so you want to self-study math/physics" have gone hugely viral here and I have yet to see anyone in the comments or later report that they actually became really good after following her tutorial. Same for any other tutorial or guide or self-study overall. maybe one blogger whose name eludes me but extremely rare. Well, when you learn something, do you remember everything that contributed to your learning it, and go back and acknowledge it? I try very hard to acknowledge those from whose instruction I have benefited, and I doubt I come anywhere near that ideal. Come to that, one measure of real expertise is knowing you're never done learning, so, even for someone who does acknowledge every single source along the way, the more they know the more presumptuous it'll seem to say they are done learning it, so they probably won't.
