Sure, but that's not really news. Everything anyone does they do themselves. I think the real distinction between self-taught and formally taught comes down to sequencing and structure. Self taught people don't always know what the next step is, whereas university or a good mentor can pull you towards the next hop by structuring the lessons into a sequence which naturally goes from a to b to c to d whereas self taught individuals sometimes swing from a to d before coming back and learning c sometimes entirely missing b.
