I don't agree either. I don't learn well in a classroom, I went through all of undergrad and grad school skipping every class and only depending on PDFs of lecture notes, PDFs of handouts and textbooks. Lectures, especially with blackboards were the absolute worst for me.

I know some people who just got through med school by reading, using Anki, and watching videos of past lectures at 2x speed. Lectures are a horrible way to learn and watching someone slowly write something down on a blackboard or whiteboard is a despicable use of a learner's time.

For collaborations, things are entirely different of course
