No, no, just a case of reality mixing in with our lovely little fantasy here. I tend to swing between such things fairly regularly... -laughs nervously- -shakes head-

The old saying that mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery... Most often used by parents who wanted one child to stop complaining that the other, typically younger, was copying their every move and word... It also shows in pairs that are courting, in which the two will mirror one another when they're interested.

But, yes. It applies to learning as well.
