Music theory doesn't do that to you, just as being able to play a guitar
quickly doesn't mean you will play noodly solos.

Maybe there is an overlap in who wants to learn that kind of stuff, but
one doesn't automatically mean the other. As with all kinds of
information, you can collect it cos you want to find out more about what
you already like, or you can collect it cos you have been told it's
important to do so.

Hmm false dichotomy, but never mind.

np. 'Stuck inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again' - Bob Dylan (it
rocks ;)
