Random tangent that got lodged in my thoughts. The conversation between Lila and Jerid in the hall regarding knowledge learned during training vs skill gained though experience can be universal, I think. It reminds me of a biographical moment from Soviet/Jewish author Isaac Babel. After graduating college in 1915, Babel moved from Kyiv to St. Petersburg, where he met the writer and political activist Maxim Gorky. Gorky became a mentor figure to Babel and published several of the young writer's short stories in his literary magazine. Although Babel's writing was thoughtful and had technical merit derived from years of education, Gorky advised him to travel and portray what he personally experienced though his future works. Babel simply hadn't yet "lived" enough, and this was reflected in his early stories
