Yes, I think it's unnatural to expect people to skip the experimentation stage. When people first see the possibilities, they are like "wow, what if I do this, or that", and they often do, and they often have a laugh, or get some kind of experience / lesson, etc etc.
Once one is saturated in such experience, they'll move on. They'll only retain this duality in special cases, one of which is the heated debates where they'll put the "angrier" face on.
