  I disagree, Vincent. You can learn from the computer. It is the computer that
can't teach you.
  No matter from what, human beings spend the whole life learning. From
everything. You learn geology from stones, zoology from animals, physics from
the planets and stars.
  They don't teach you anything. It's _you_ that observe, make a theory, test it
and draw conclusions. You can do exactly the same from a computer. You play
against it; it wins; you study the game; guess why you lost; play again; maybe
you force the same opening and change a move or a plan... Finally, you draw
conclusions. And your source of information is, in that case, Fritz!!! :)
