At the end you tend to re-invent the wheel if you learn that way. Learning about the existing wheels will save much time and correct a lot of errors that you might never even see when working that way.

And kids knowledge is generally supplemented by adults to complete the picture and sometimes we have to lie to introduce them to some concepts.
