People seem to be taking issue with that example. It was kindof an outlier wrt to what I was trying to illustrate, but very salient so it came to my mind. Certainly that experience was not optimal or safe, but still, he learned a lot.

I doubt a smart person could come out of that experience without being a few years ahead.
