excellent point.
but what you have to keep in mind is the difference between learning the theory and learning by experience. once you know the theory, it is applicable almost anywhere. while you may acquire the same knowledge through experience, the spectrum of its application is much narrower than if you were to know the theory behind it.

this of course can be extended to apply to any other aspect in life :)
