Face it, my experience has been that the difference between the "average"
student ( read here 'one seeking new knowledge') and the "extraordinary"
student is that the former, needing 'spoon feeding', will wail loudly
at the painful difficulty of the material, and, spending most their time
raving, will progress slowly if at all in its mastery; whereas the latter
takes the task in hand and gets on with it...
