I'm not picking on you Deezel. You are repeating something like the oft-heard phrase "You can't teach speed." But this phrase drives me nuts because it is wrong. You can TEACH speed and you can TEACH someone to be 6'4". But no one can LEARN those things. Just like I can waste my time to TEACH my dog to be an airline pilot, but there is no chance that he will LEARN that.
