Scientific Instruction is a Craft
Scientific instruction is a craft. This is because skill in a science, knowledge of its diverse aspects, and mastery of it are the result of a habit.... The easiest method of acquiring the scientific habit is through acquiring the ability to express oneself clearly in discussing and disputing scientific problems. This is what clarifies their import and makes them understandable.
N. J. Dawood, Ibn Khaldūn, Franz Rosenthal, The Muqaddimah (1969)
Notes
...and the best way to learn a scientific discipline is to teach it.
