Actually, that's not entirely true. Actually being physically in a location is POTENTIAL to gain more knowledge, but often times I'll find plenty of people come back from vacation and tours knowing less about the place they just went than I do, and some of the stuff they learned on the tour was outright false. Someone could easily know far more about a place just sitting in Harvard's library than someone who's been there, even for a year. The reverse could also be true, but presense in a location does not mean knowledge. Actually going about learning from reliable sources indicates knowledge.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
