You included learning in your reply before, as your intent or goal, I asked “why is learning better than not learning?”
You objected at this point. To attempt to overcome your objection: Is learning better than not learning? (to you).
Learning is interesting. Some people watch sports day in and day out, the same game reloaded, because they find it interesting. Is it better to watch sports or not? Better in what sense?
The same thing with learning? Better or worse in what sense? If you are learning all about astronomy and your final is in English literature, than astronomy will not be better for your academic achievement but it may feel 'better' while it lasts because it tickles your fancy, and is entertaining.
That's why I don't label anything as better or worse, or speculate if it matches my 'purpose.'
