That's a big point.  "Hacker" becomes an identity to take on, it sounds 
cool.  I would argue "hacking" is experience based learning, so does 
Seymour Papert.  Small children hack, they dont' have language skills to 
learn except through experience.  Adults can hack those samll children, 
watching them and learning from them rather than rushing to books and 
learning before the child is there to learn from.

One might as well use "explorer" or "map maker", the experience teaching.
