There is merit on both approaches. Or at least I understand what most opinions are trying to convey. But I believe there must be a balance between learning depth and actual progress or productivity.

In the field of biological sciences, we do not start by teaching the students the intricacies of molecular genetics and metabolic regulation. That would be incredibly overwhelming. Instead, we start from the basics, build a solid knowledge foundation that we know they will continue to use in their future careers (and thus won't easily discard or forget), whatever these may be.
