What is the point of unlearning if it is not to be followed by
learning? Aside from the obvious semantic issue, I interpreted the
term 'unlearn' to mean looking at the issue from a completely
different perspective. This is not really as much 'unlearning' as it
is 'relearning'. I cannot see the value of intentionally forgetting
something I have learned, if not for remembering what not to do.

Who was it that said "No experiment is a failure unless you don't
learn from it"?
