I beg to differ, although some may see this as pedantic. Learning is, to a significant degree, purely a matter of accumulation and regurgitation of fixed knowledge. We call people without this type of learning illiterate. This should not be confused with creativity, which in this context would be the advancement of learning. It is the advancement that is a constant process without end. Isaac Newton said it best: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."
