It doesn't make it go away. Using your analogy - if you used 300lb to learn and then only made 10 lb of pizza after that, it would be a pretty poor use of resources.

If you instead went on to produce millions of pizzas for people and 30,000lb of flour, that 300lb you used to learn looks like a pretty reasonable investment.
