Jack Ganssle once observed that while students in most professions spend an appreciable amount of time studying quality examples of their craft

I think the key thing is that this happens under the guidance of a "mentor" - who can provide a commentary on what the "apprentice" is seeing.

The trouble with just looking at existing designs (whether hardware or software) is that it just shows you what the designers did - not why they did it.
