The weight, relevance, and general usefulness of the concepts you read about are completely lost on you until you practice them. Until you successfully execute learned material it will just be words on a screen to you, and you won't improve. Sharpening your tongue and readying your wit is a lot easier in real time. Lessons hit you harder, nuances become imprinted in your memory.
We're lucky we have a lot of well vetted material to guide us through this shit. It's to give you direction and stop you from making serious mistakes, nothing can replace practice.
