> Really? Of course I don't understand, of course I have no idea what I'm talking about, since I've tried comprehending all of Pbot's statements, yet I don't progress a single step.

Have you tried asking Pbot actual questions regarding his statements? Or just asking questions in general?

If you don't understand something, for goodness' sake, ASK. Ask questions. Ask for clarifications. Stop doing completely useless things like saying "good point" to a post you haven't understood. Seriously, how do you plan to learn anything, if you aren't willing to ask questions?

> Nobody says that you are a noob.

Since you just equated Ubersketch position to a 6-year-old child asking about ordinals, I think it is obvious that you are calling him a noob. :-)

Then again, there's nothing wrong with being a noob. We were all noobs at some point. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Being a beginnner does not mean that you are stupid or not capable of progressing.

Speaking of which:

One problem I constantly see here, is that of beginners who aren't aware that they are beginners. They chat with one another and delude themselves that they are making progress, when they're mostly learning things that are simply wrong.

This leads to them being defensive later, when the pros tell them they have no idea what they are talking about. And worse: It creates a conceptual mess in their head that they'll have to "unlearn" before making any real progress.
