It’s kinda funny because that larger trend is paralleled by my own personal trend. Back in grade school, I thought the math answer keys were useful information, useful enough to make learning it unnecessary.
Later on, I realized that the answers were meaningless without the context of the problem and put equal importance on the process as the solution.
These days, the solutions themselves are mostly just curiosities and it’s all in the process, which parallels life itself nicely.
Or in the context of video games, one frame displayed on the screen shows millions of results of a bunch of math being repetitively done as you play. Those solutions only matter for a brief instant before new ones are needed and the previous ones often just discarded, though occasionally saved and even sent out to the world for others to appreciate the brief moment they are relevant.
