There is accumulated knowledge, ideally in accessible repositories. That's completely different. Nobody expects every person to re-learn every human discovery from scratch.

The more actuate analogy is this: Unless you're live coding by choice, the internet isn't staring at your screen and following/critiquing your every move. And even if you are, it's going to be far from your most productive attempt at writing code.
