Many people learn things without needing much verbage behind such practices. Take for example, a person that grew up drawing as a child, simply because it was fun. They can be an amazing artist fundamentally and not know shit about teaching it or the regimen behind his childhood passion that increased his skills in the technical sense.
When an aspiring artist asks how to get good, more often than not, the older experienced artist (with the background written above) may respond with something akin to "just draw a loooot!" but nowadays; especially with how intimate this industry has become; a industry 99% based on representational art; the older would instead say:"study the fundamentals" because the "secret" to getting good is so public.
The older artist didn't set out to "study the fundamentals" as a child. He just drew. He drew what he liked, he copied artists or media that inspired him and he drewwwww. He was logical in the pursuit of his passion, but intuitive when it came to the exposition of proper image making, abiding by the standards of representational art.
It's definitely a perspective thing.
