So how does that make sense. If you look at a person after 6 years of
experience, then again after 40 years of experience. Has he become less
knowledgeable?
Well, until you hit senility, but that generally comes after retirement.

I am not sure we have the same definition of education or instinct. I am
well aware that knowledge and wisdom can't be beaten into a person, but
educations usually is based on years and years of experience and/or
development made by other people before. Since it was thought out by people
before, there is no reason why some person can do it by himself, but
usually core ideas can be extracted and easily passed on.
As I said, education in itself doesn't make a person, but at a personal
level it *can* be a shortcut to a higher level of experience.
Newsgroups is a different aspect of the same thing. Knowledge and experience
is passed from person(s) to persons(s).
