A german saying is: "Du musst nicht alles wissen, du musst nur wissen, wo es steht." You don't need to know everything, but you must know where to find it. Now, imagine there was a place where you could find all answers to all your questions (e.g., the internet). If you had unlimited access to this resource wouldn't that mean that you don't need to know anything? Have a look at Neo below (The Matrix). He simply plugs in to an online lesson about KungFu (and, in another scene a helicopter) - and 'knows'! This is really impressive but I would like to go even further and raise a question: is learning really as important as we think? Or would it be enough to know when we need to know?
