This statement seems obviously false. No amount of reading analogies about science will teach you any actual science. Also, the author seems fixated on measuring learning by "things" (facts?). That's a terrible metric, unless you're trying to collect facts, in which case, you'd probably be better of reading the encyclopedia.
