Part of growing up, going to school and then college, and then through life is that you learn how to learn. Everyone develops their strategies to learn.
Some think that the strategy they found for themselves is great, and they start preaching it. Like this person here. But it's an illusion. Maybe it even has a name. This particular strategy doesn't sound bad, but there are so many types of people out there, and it's certain that for many, if not most, other strategies fit better.
It's like trying to teach someone how to run. Advice like keep your back straight, or land on your toes, etc. In the end, running is the best teacher. Just go ahead and run, and your body will figure out how to keep the back straight.
