It is not received wisdom. My argument is human learning entails recognizing an ever increasing amount of complexity, given infinite time, resources and motivation we can learn forever. But all axiomatic systems have a complexity limit, per Chaitin's incompleteness theorem, so cannot learn forever. Neither can a system add to its axioms. Therefore, human learning is beyond anything an axiomatic systems can do.
