The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media... credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition... a kind of celebration of ignorance
I've found that the best way for me to gauge my progress is to note when following along with a video where you're playing your "do-it-wrong-at-first-then-show-you-how-it-should-be" scheme; and yet, even not knowing that I'm chasing the ball over the wrong fence I nonetheless smell a rat and find the eventual clean up all the more instructive.
I'm truly glad you value my "do it wrong first" strategy. I believe the most effective way to learn the right approach is to understand why the wrong method doesn't work

Yup! Reminds me of my college years.
(Which, today, seem to date back to the era when New York purchased Ruth from the Red Sox, and Manhattan from the Indians)
