That's a fairly ungenerous interpretation. It's very much possible to know, on an intellectual level, that it's useful to split up a problem into its component parts so as to get a grip on it, but that doesn't mean you're actually going to do it or have formed a habit to do it. And perhaps education can help there, but actually being faced with a big problem and finding out that without approaching it step by step you're going to get nowhere, seems like a pretty good way to internalize that lesson too.

This is what I mean by "education", not just being made to learn by rote a seemingly random quote, but being effectively trained into leveraging its core principles.
