True. I think the difference is like this (in a way): You can also learn a lot about photography using a fixed focus lens camera. But there's some things you may not learn because you're not forced to. The equipment tends to obviate the need.
Many things are learned through experience, not premeditated effort. A person may not know they can learn something if they don't know what that something is. Sometimes we learn by stumbling onto things. That's what the more basic equipment tends to allow and afford to a greater degree, IMO.
