That just seems like a huge false dichotomy that's been used as the crux of a lot of arguments.
I do.

Sometimes my students just watch me while I'm trying to debug a particularly hard problem. The process is more important than the actual details of solving the problem.

What makes this program awesome is that more often I sit back and watch them.

Maybe instead of basing judgements on who they see doing the work people should not be so quick to judge.
