I thought we were talking about position >learning, not book learning. Position learning can have similar importance if our book is small and the positions learned are near the origin. Obviously, if it is some esoteric position like WAC.230, the odds of hitting it are essentially 0. But if the move is 1. b4 it becomes far more probable. And so position learning can take a role like book learning in that instance.
