Have you ever been involved in an activity that was very similar to something you’ve already done, but not the same thing? Did your prior knowledge help or hinder the learning?

In my own practice I have had to be very careful to not assume that a new situation is actually like an old one. There’s always something just different enough that I have to pay attention to.
