46. Given that, why begin a "give and take" with no knowledge of the topic
On the other hand, if all the students knew word for word each piece of literature and every text book in the school library... would they not be able to have more informed discussions about the current topic at hand. Literature or Philosophy you are right require digestion and discussion or they are meaningless -- unless you want to accept the opinions of that person you brain dumped from.

The benefit is that you begin from a position of ultimate knowledge of the material, not a blank slate that can accidentally be filled with INCORRECT info just as easily as correct.
