Consider two boys who were taught how to hammer a nail into a piece of wood.
One boy might explore other ways to hammer nails such as using a
screwdriver, a pencil, his bare hands, a bag of cottons etc.
The other will cling to his hammer and study various ways of using different
hammers, or nails depending on the wood at hand, apply varying forces when
hitting the nail, etc. (and yeah, maybe even write a book about it at some
point, to show the other that driving nails into wood, really should be done
with the help of a hammer).
