Good point. An important corollary is to learn to do an operation
correctly the first time. In teaching, showing students examples of the
wrong way can be a good learning aid, but it MUST be showed *after* the
student has learn the correct way. If you do it in the wrong order,
chances are good that one of the wrong ways will stick and become habit.
Cognitive psychology 101... especially in children and young adults.
