That is actually incorrect. You're describing the entire point of Whole Language learning.

They are to learn a number of words, and then use their collection of words to deduce other words.

The problem is they don't necessarily deduce correctly. Who is to say you deduced them correctly?

Also people are lazy. They would rather just leave the blanks than fill it in.
