You can be a mason and build 50 buildings, but it doesn't me

Summary

This quote emphasizes the difference between having technical skills in a certain field and possessing a deeper understanding or expertise within it. Being a skilled mason implies proficiency in building structures, but it doesn't necessarily guarantee the creative ability or foresight needed to design a building. It highlights the distinction between executing tasks versus having the capability to innovate, strategize, and envision novel concepts. Mastery in one aspect does not automatically translate to proficiency in other related aspects, highlighting the importance of recognizing different skill sets and roles within a field.
