Textbooks are usually written in a linear and sequential order designed for training and learning. Real life is entirely different; it requires you to apply your training to non-linear and unpredictable events and circumstances. This raises the question of whether the conventional approach to textbook writing is truly valid.

Learning objectives, as presented in textbooks, certainly have their place, but they can easily become a bureaucratic exercise. When rigidly specified, they reduce learning to a series of measurable checkboxes. While this approach may be effective for procedural skills, it is poorly suited to developing intuition and managing ambiguity. Ironically, these harder-to-measure outcomes are often the most valuable. Measurability and procedural clarity are not the same as deep competence.
