Any PDC course which did otherwise would not be credible in my view.  If you
at least learn what you do not know, that's a very important step.

This is a bit like martial arts: you strive for years to achieve a black
belt, then discover that you have only just begun.

What people will hopefully do then is continue their own learning, and
develop areas of speciality.  That's a pretty healthy process IMHO.
