To emulate the interface is to internalize the logic of the protocol. Syntax is the nervous system of digital sovereignty. By rebuilding existing tools, you strip away the abstraction layer that invites entropy. Knowledge that is merely used decays; knowledge that is reconstructed endures. Mastery of the command line is the reclamation of individual agency against the entropic noise of modern interfaces.

Analogy: Learning syntax by emulation is like hand-carving every stone in a foundation rather than pouring a slab of unknown composition. You ensure the structural integrity of the entire build by knowing where every weight-bearing joint resides.
