When I gave an example of a recipe book, that’s what I meant. There’s the element of not knowing whether something worked without the explicit feedback of “what worked”. But there is also an element of “no matter how much I experiment with new things, I wouldn’t know sous vide exists as a technique unless I already know and have it listed in the recipe book.” What I don’t know, I will never know.
