  I have always wondered why this is such a common suggestion, even though
it's one of the hardest ways of learning anything.

  You don't learn driving a car by examining the inside of a combustion
engine. You don't learn to use a computer by examining the circuit board
inside it. You don't learn to build a bridge by examining the bolts and
nuts used in it.

  The easiest way of learning OpenGL is, obviously, to read some online
tutorials. What exactly is wrong with suggesting that? Why suggest the
absolutely hardest way?
