Weird how much of what's taught formally about physical phenomena is reduced purely to the symbolic layer: e.g. memorize the name of the thing x that does y, memorize the name of phenomenon y, label x on the same vastly oversimplified line drawing you saw in the book.
I don't care of it's Feynman, as stated it's not a reasonable claim. Maybe context would help.

Mentioned Feynman re correlation btw screen cap/quote. I do think he’s being a bit tongue&cheek, but also learning vague definitions is setting up buckets/organizing structure to contain knowledge “Knowing the names of things is useful if you want to talk to somebody else.”

"Energy makes the toy move" is just a restatement of the unsolved "x makes the toy move," and it's one that actually makes most people worse off: if they ask a friend "what is energy?" they'll get a less applicable answer than "what makes the toy move?"
