Imagine yourself you are the first human in earth and you know nothing about it, you are trying to learn how to move and you failed alot of times, then you understand the "secret of moving" and you don't fall, from that experience you think you will never fall, you are now moving from a place to another and then you see a a really big hole, you know nothing about gravity and from experience you think that there's no way to fall from your new way of walking, you try to walk on it then you fall, then you gain another experience and that is you can fall even if you discovered a new way to move, from this you understand that even if you understand something you can fail on it and this is all thanks to observation. — Jalal1002
