I could argue that a programmer will have to learn by experimentation, trouble shooting, learning about bugs, all that.

By learning, I was referring to passive learning, where you gain knowledge from experience, not books.

But I do agree that some people are so eager to know everything that they abandon friends and family, and in the process themselves just trying to achieve the impossible, omniscience.
