One of the best HM comments I've seen.

I self-taught some math which gave me the benefit of no deadline, and I did not memorize derivations - I learned them. The typical experience is that the derivation given to you is that 'satnav route' and offers little intuition for what it does or how you would have even thought to do it.

The exercise for me was always the same: re-derive the proof by injecting context, motivation and intuition.
