I think, all other things being equal, we all would choose to learn more efficiently than not, wouldn't we?

I can see how I might forsake the study of one aspect for another, but I can't think of a reason to learn something slower.

I can see a good reason to
teach someone slower...particularly something potentially dangerous. I can see where in some cases a teacher might want to ensure the student has the strength of character to wield his or her new-found power wisely. I grew up knowing a number of wrestlers and boxers who didn't, for example. I don't know how they were taught, but i can see how a different sense of responsibility might have helped a few of them.
