Neat idea, but then we'd miss out on life! Seems some of us learn best by making mistakes.

Reading about electronic theory will only get you so far...you need to get some parts and play with them! That's why I recommended the old Radio Shack experimenter boards. They were way too expensive for us when we were kids, so we'd get broken and surplus stuff and play with it (I have a nice molten solder scar on my finger from when I was 10).
