The myth here is that once something is “taught,” “documented,” or “deployed,” learning has happened. Delivery is mistaken for design. This shows up in project culture as endless handoffs, “knowledge transfer” sessions, checklists, and training-complete boxes ticked. In this framing, the work ends at shipment — as if real knowledge can be poured into people like water into a glass. What it ignores is that without embedded feedback and reflection, people simply repeat mistakes. Systems stagnate because they confuse motion with adaptation.
