Experience is the best teacher

One of my pet peeves, so you will excuse me if I am a bit argumentative. When one of my young engineers says this to me I always correct them.... Experience is the WORST teacher. It is far better to learn from someone elses experience than to go through all the effort and pain of learning yourself.
Imagine if humans were not capable of observing others and learning from their mistakes. We would all still be living in caves, rubbing sticks together to make fire, and making primative tools from stone.
