Randomness and mistakes are not necessarily a waste of time.
When learning a new skill, it's not always a good idea to immediately force the "right" technique. You should allow for random exploration and mistakes. Why?
Highly supervised learning may seem more efficient on the surface, but it can end up producing fragile behavior. By fragile, I mean that the learner will struggle to adapt when something unexpected happens. Random exploration may seem like an inefficient way of learning, but it has been shown to produce more adaptive and flexible behavior.
