Copying a build isn't understanding it

You can copy a great build in a click. Can you stand in front of someone and explain it?

On Thursday's show I showed my copy of Nico's build and was straight about it. Whatever the artifact is, "I clone it. All right. Easy." I do it "so I can help my agent see it." Then: "Look at how far behind I am."

Nico's has moved on: "The next step button is not here. It's evolved. And it evolves because I don't actually know what Nico was thinking when he created this or why he created it."

So, "I can take the link, but then if I were to suggest that I could … teach somebody anything, get out of here. … There's no chance. I don't know how or why it was put together. And now I risk showing up as fake."

If you're building from someone else's work, the link isn't the understanding.
