Sometimes you also encounter documentation that you either don't understand, or maybe it's just poorly written, in those cases I'd say it fair to guess to keep moving forward. Afterwards you should probably stop and think: "Why did/didn't this work?" and build up your understanding.
I've been reluctant to learn frontend development and our framework of choice is apparently fairly well documented, but I don't even understand large parts of the terminology, why certain solutions work, or why some are more correct. So I guess, and I learn, but you need to keep iterating for that to work.
If you just guess, or ask an LLM, and doesn't question your guess later, then I can see the point of simply not recommending guessing at all. Mostly I think flat out recommending againts guessing ignores how a large percentage of us learn.
