Education is useful to help one build a platform for further study, but this alone does not teach you everything there is to know. The cutting edge stuff is often a work in progress, protected by researchers, by government classification standards; top secret, by patents and copyrights and by legal boilerplate and company trade secrets. What is placed in the box for education is the old cutting edge, that is now beyond the need for such protections. At one time nuclear was top secret stuff that was not in the box. Now enough time has passed and it can added to the box.
If you went to work helping to design the iPhone of the future; #25, what is in the box at the store, today, is not the same as these new designs that are kept in a vault. They exist, but do not exist.
Too many people seem to assume if you memorize the box of today you are an expert and critic to anything not part of the box. The box is only that part of the iceberg that is above the water line. It is good to be open minded, One has to avoid both collective and personal bias, to begin see the iceberg below the water.
