I suspect at least one of the failure modes related to not learning things in the right order is slower, more arduous learning that isn’t fun.
And if you want everything to make sense anyway, you’re going to learn the prerequisites anyways. So not only are you having more difficulties now, but you’re spending time getting a tenuous grasp on a subject that you’ll want to revisit later anyways once you can put things into a coherent framework.
