Meaning
This reads as a hierarchy of learning, where formal thinkers matter, but failure teaches in a more personal way. It can be taken to mean that books and teachers give tools, yet mistakes give the lesson that sticks. It lands in moments when someone is weighing credentials against hard-won experience, especially after a setback that changed how they work.
