I'm convinced that the physical and emotional environment has an impact on learning.
No, seriously I do.
Manuals are good at telling you the facts, but not necessarily the implications.
Needless to say I have a prime example for you, which is that parallel table scans are direct path. As far as the manual goes that's pretty much all you need to know so it doesn't get much more attention than bare metnions here and there, but the implications of it are disproportionate to the size of those manual mentions. That's what a book is for, IMHO.

you know but don't remember=> refer=>reconstruct
you don't know=>learn
You've stated that fact before, so no point reiterating.
We were talking about why we buy books and when we do, which one draws our attention.
Is this a teaser to the upcoming (much anticipated) novella buy out very own slimdave?Quote:
