Yes, what he said.  I get very upset by people who just don't want
to learn anything.  It's like being given a Porsche and not wanting
to know that you should get the oil changed now and then.  No one
wants to learn anything.  Once you've stopped learning, you're dead,
or might as well be, because you'll never adapt.

If we've created a priesthood of people who want to learn and enjoy
doing so, so be it.
