I have a similar experience in industry (software development) that I relive weekly, but I never learn.

When I help someone solve a problem, I like to show them how I got to the solution. In the end, my hour invested was "we did it together" and not appreciated by anyone, least of all the manager. But on the few occasions that I just bang out a function quickly for somebody because I don't have the time, I'm hailed as a lifesaver critical to the business and my name is mentioned in the Daily Standup the next day.

Explaining how we work trivializes our work. It's better to remain mysterious.
