Having just obtained a 50 ton Masters of the Great Lakes, I can tell you
that the schools tell you how to pass the test, but don't teach much
about being a captain. When you take the test you're advised to get off
your boat and get into the book, especially about Rules of the Road.

If what you say was true it would seem like it would be the other way around.

Isn't your experience in gaining your 50 ton license like any other
educational or training experience you have had? The education or training
exposes you to the subject and then tests you to ensure that you have a
minimum amount of knowledge in that subject. In most cases the education or
training teaches you the lexicon of the subject. That is the entry point.
Only experience and further study will make you truly proficient. Examples:
undergraduate education; medical education; any apprentice program in the
trades; diamond cutter; captain; etc.

That's how I see it IMHO.
