memorization is not what I'm talking about.

I'm talking about

1. you have a problem, you try something and it doesn't work. 2. you find an LLM and it "gives" you the answer with one or two tries 3. problem solved! what have you learned? How to have answers given to you when you ask.

or 2. you look for an answer in a dizzying haze of man pages, quacks, and website Q&As. 3. you try and try again and eventually problem solved. you have learned not only how to solve a particular problem but your overall ability to solve similar problems has done up. You've learned how to fish, not just ask an LLM for a fish.
