With just one correction (or addition) - this does not means the Rules should not be learned. they should! We build our skills, our experience standing on the giants shoulders, standing on the great experience of the centuries passed.

EDIT: though I must admit I hate watching tutorials and never read the manual before trying things out. Once I get past the initial experimental phase it's easier for me to absorb all the info available but with empirical data in my mind that makes it easier for me to learn further.
