In some ways I must agree with BigNed about having competent instructors or no instructors. Case in point would be the trail of destruction (un-named pilot) has left and continues to leave behind him. He never received proper training and was turned loose without the basics and continues to pay for it. This is one reason for a solid built airplane such as a Tiger II which can stand up to some abuse while a pilot finishes up learning. We all have gone thru stages where we wanted to go faster than our skills permitted and paid for it. You don't turn a student driver loose with a Ferrari and just tell him to use first gear only.
