Exactly. Everyone should experience having to teach something they're so used to doing that they don't even consciously think about it anymore. It makes it very visible how much we rely on unconscious models of the systems we deal with and how difficult it can be to convey that model.
It's why less experienced devs are sometimes mystified seeing a seasoned dev, given a vague description of a bug, guess the cause in code they didn't even write.
