Many people, when trying to learn new stuff, read an article or a book, or watch a video or listen to some friend or coach, and start applying the stuff. This is also standard advice. Many people say it is not worth reading or learning if you are not going to put what you have read into practice.
That is all well and good, but what it leads to is indoctrination, not education. If you read or listen to just one opinion or one way of doing stuff and start implementing immediately, you are indoctrinating yourself into it. It will become the way to do stuff or think about stuff and you will defend it if other ways will contradict it.
By contrast, by reading and listening to wide array of opinions and approaches your brain starts to distill a kind of archetype of a way to do stuff. You will be more open to try multiple approaches and will not be set into the first one you have come around. You will be educated about the area, not indoctrinated into the first thing.
