That's faulty reasoning, why learn something since it can be looked up? Because understanding and looking it up are not the same. We've been able to look up things since we've had libraries and experts. One one hand, you may end up doing something really stupid/dangerous just because you don't know what the answer means or what are the implications and blindly do what the statistical model tells you. On the other hand learning gives you "HD vision" for the world. Anything new you learn will let you see much more detail of the things around you, and you don't really know what you're missing, you really can't know, because until you learn it, you're blind.
