Meaning
This points to the difference between learning and repeating without reflection. A mistake becomes useful only when it changes behavior, so the quote reads as a sharp reminder that insight shows up in the second attempt, not the first. It lands after a setback that keeps happening, when the real issue is no longer the error itself but the refusal to adjust.
