One of the big concepts in RL is that you always want to be “on-policy”: instead of mimicking other people's successful trajectories, you should take your own actions...In short, imitation is good and you have to do it initially. But once you're bootstrapped enough, if you want to beat the teacher you must do on-policy RL and play to your own strengths and weaknesses :)</a>
