heh..
I think you have to remove some conditions from the learning curve. It can't be specific to each individual case. I think the lesson is learned the first few times you jump off the couch when you are 3 or the bed when you are 5 or even down a couple of stairs when you are 10 that the ground hurts and can do more damage the higher you go, so when you are 20 and jump from a window it's a mistake from not learning the other 1200 times you jumped of fell. It's like calling all in with a OESD after the flop. Just cause last time you had 789T and this time you have 3456 doesn't mean you forget what you learned the last time "because this is a different situation".
But I do get what you are saying Jack. But that's why in poker we start at the micro stakes, cheap lessons when you don't really make a mistake that was a mistake, but when you make a mistake at 100NL or up, it'll cost ya.
