No : the real world is. You spouting nonsense and then getting corrected
by people who "know" is not "learning" - its being put right. A subtle
but important difference. It pains me to think of the amount of
misinformation you post which isnt slapped back into place because the
people who know have your voluminous NEWS posts killfiled. If you want
to learn, go and READ something relevant to the program or get a job
where you use it. Dont make things up. Or guess.
