What’s the FC temperature on the phrase “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach.” — do y’all find this to be true? What other thoughts do you have on it?

in my experience, former-doers make the best teachers.

I’ve been lucky enough to have two amazing mentors as a musician and audio engineer. In my experience some of the best doers are also the best teachers and teaching at the level isn’t easy. It takes a special kind of person to do both.

Best doers often would be the best teachers - but they refuse to.

So yes, it strongly tends to he true.

Correlary - Science survey papers (essentially teaching & standard applying pre-existing known methods, little hard thinking) are almost always given to those in the lab who can’t do, but the lab wants to keep.

Just makes me think of SchoolOfRock and nepotism
