Because procedural thinking for building things is only realized through the experience of actually building. If you want to learn how to build, you can only learn by building. That's the experience for it. That's the knowledge for it.
You cannot retain how to build without going through the experience of building. If you read about building, your mind retains the words related to building, not the procedural moves, not the step-by-step.

Those procedural moves : what to apply, when, how, in what order can only be learned and retained by going through them. Not by reading about them. I know it's the most obvious thing people say. But it truly hits you when you realize you've read so much and actually don't know how to build anything. Because your mind never went through the experience of step-by-step building.
