Correct me if I'm wrong adamnemecek, but it sounds to me like you're referring to something like how we don't need to read Newton's Principia in order to pick up the essential ideas from Newtonian Mechanics—by participating in our culture for long enough, you're going to pick them up. Is that right? It seems like a bunch of people are replying thinking that you meant one would pick up trivia about the classics like which Shakespearian work some quote came from, rather than some distillation of important concepts or whatever.
