The Illusion of Learning
Watching install videos feels productive.
You see clean shrinks.
Perfect rear windows.
Fast door installs.
Confident movements.
But here’s the reality:
Watching someone with 10+ years of experience install film is not the same as understanding what they’re doing.
You’re seeing the result.
You’re not feeling the tension.
You’re not experiencing the mistakes.
You’re not getting corrected.
That difference matters.
