That's a great metaphor! I think it also quite accurately explains why it's generally really hard to teach beginner programming well. If a baby asked you how you learnt to walk from crawling you wouldn't be able to recall your experience, all you could answer with is the mechanics. Only by actually trying (and failing) multiple times will they learn.
