It's also a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison, since we were not discussing "concepts" but whether it is better as a pedagogical method to move from the general to the specific or the specific to the general (as far as I can tell, at least).

It's still not possible to "create energy," only to
convert between matter and energy. Einstein's equation
is a perfect example of how dry science can be as a
subject when it's taught out of context. It was obscure
before the bomb, and over half a century later even people
who are technical often get it wrong.
