With my educator hat on, people learn in different ways. There are three basic ways, with some variations... So I just consider that some people just learn by doing, get stuck, confused or lost and appeal for assistance. Reading the manual may or may not help these people. Of course it is hard to learn anything complex without the simple building blocks already in place. I understand the reasons why some people are advised to learn some accounting. But the online reference may not help, a person may need to watch someone on a video explaining and showing worked examples. I would be pleased to see references to alternate resources for learning accounting.
