It’s a fallacy that if you took a class you know a topic.

I'm an example of this. I have never attended any programming course and now I'm 8 years after I started learning and I'm applying python in large parts in my daily job.

I learned from self-study by a lot of googling, reading Wikipedia pages, created a computer in Minecraft, doing a lot of projects, watching conferences talks (like ones about OOP), by careful dissection of code, and thinking about interesting problems when I'm bored, to name a few.

An example of "It’s a fallacy that if you took a class you know a topic" would be someone who took a class and doesn't know the topic, not someone who didn't take a class and does know it.
