I would argue that without a foundation of basic knowledge and facts you will be unable to do advanced abstract thinking. Knowing something and being able to look it up are not the same thing.
A large part of what I do when I program is recognising patterns and deciding when to apply certain methods. Without knowing the patterns and the methods to apply, I'd get nowhere.
When I write, I rely on a knowledge of words and how they relate to my mental abstractions to be able to formulate sentences from them.
Pretty much everything we do rely extremely extensively on facts and knowledge we need to acquire and remember.
Not knowing or remembering details is fine. I rely extensively on documentation and searches to write code, for example. But you need to know what to look for and what to search for.
It means that even with easy access to all the necessay information you can't build a rocket if you don't know how to do it.
You can learn how to do it, but that just means transferring the information from the outside into your brain.
You are not able to meaningfully reason (think) about a topic if you don't know anything about it and I show you the Wikipedia page. Easy access to data is useful if you know what to do with it.
No, it means that you need to know algebra to be able to think about calculus, not merely having access to an algebra book. Everyone can have access to algebra information, that doesn't mean everyone can solve calculus, as proved by reality.
What does that even mean?
