> spaced repetition, once you see some concepts often enough
I think there's a quote on this but I can't remember by whom, but I think it's something like "Familiarity doesn't lead to repetion, repetition leads to familiarity."
Even if not a quote, I think the idea (with spaced repetion adding the concept of time) of repeated exposure to a subject as the thing that drives understanding, and not understanding just being a thing that itself allows people to do the subject a lot, is an important one to keep in mind for learning any new topic, particularly ones that are perhaps further away from your current knowledge base, and so feel inherently trickier.
And if you fully comfortable with the subject, you're probably not learning anything at that point ;)
