Interesting thought, David - thanks.

Some questions: By "balanced" do you mean a roughly equal amount of time, or does that depend on the topic? Do you think this is true at all levels (from, say, a child learning how to add up to a trainee engineer learning calculus) or only at certain levels? What if the learning is fairly informal, designed only to get a "taste" of a topic?
