In almost any other subject learning, mistakes are celebrated as marks on the road to improvement.

I think that maybe has to do with it being more of a moral thing than an academic thing? There are usually going to be more consequences if you screw up the former than the latter. I'll need some time to digest that way of looking at things but my kneejerk is to substitute other violent crimes in there, and "I murdered somebody on the road to learning not to murder people" is kinda hard to sell as a positive. Or even going to the opposite extreme, "I used to steal candy bars" is still kinda "ehhhh" compared to "I used to mess up subject-verb agreement"
