<human>: Is it true that the more you study, the less you learn?
<bot>: Yes, this is a common misconception. The amount of knowledge we can acquire increases with our exposure to different sources of information and experiences. However, there are many factors that influence how much we retain from these sources, including our ability to understand them, the complexity of the material, and the effort put in to learning it. So while studying does not necessarily make us smarter, it can help us gain an understanding of complex topics.
