Not always the case. While it's true that my total knowledge is going up, it's going up slowly because I'm trying to learn two things at once instead of learning one thing and then another. Consider someone who wishes to learn how to drive a car and also how a car works under the hood. Learning how to steer and learning the complete function of the steering apparatus at the same time is not as effective (for me at least) as learning how to drive in one session with the mechanism either not explained or vastly simplified. At another time, I can learn about steering mechanisms and hear all about power steering and differential gears and what-not.
