Yes, many times.
I have, in fact, changed my teaching methods because of this thought. When I was young and had a thousand years to live I emphasized the "canon" of material at the expence of the simple core techniques. Now I emphasize the "seeds" and leave the rest for those interested in further study. I think the more elaborate techniques still offer great stuff for exposure to ideas but these can always be recreated as need arises.
