Moving up gradually vs. jumping into the deepend

[BruceInCA]

Conventional wisdom is to start at a low limit, establish that you're a winner at that limit, and move up if your bankroll can support it. However, I've read a lot of posts in SSNL and MHSNL about how the various limits play a lot differently.

If your eventual goal is to be a winning high stakes NL player, could you reach that goal faster by just jumping into the deepend of high stakes NL play? (This is assuming an unlimited bankroll of course, so there's no risk of going broke and ending the learning process.)
