that's legit.
If you want a neuroscience view: train yourself on bottom-up processing skills or top-down processing skills.
Learn how to build things up from first principles and learn how to break things down from observation.

That list is not going to be legit if it doesn't help you draw but whatever you draw can be divided into those items.

Your friend has said "read the sticky" and he's broken down what you'd find there in a particular way.

method is procedure. Many are similar(many are intended for similar ends) and are designed to suit the needs/desires of the user.

If you want something out-of-the-box, I'd recommend Vilppu, Loomis, Faragasso, or Barnstone.
For Loomis and Vilppu they'll show you a lot of drawing and all you have to do is google "fun with a pencil archive" or "drawing manual vilppu archive"

The best procedure is going to be the one you like because it helps you create what you want to.

Method is a composite of skills you can learn from your own practice or from others' practice. In neuroscience it's "operationalizing."

You can clear the snow temple with or without a strategy guide and you learn new things whether you want to or not because you'll have to and you naturally create a method because method is efficient. Not everyone clears the snow temple the same way but the snow temple will always have the same layout. The first people to clear the snow temple were "masters" and many people learned by copying their runs and don't forget they were just pushing buttons.

yes.
Is it easier to cook when you know how to cut vegetables and operate a stove? Do you find it helpful to cook with or without a recipe? Do you want to be a food chemist? Do you possess an intrinsic sense of "mm that tastes yummy"?

I started off with comics in MSPaint.
I think that the goal of both things you named is learning a skill and learning to do it unconsciously.
