Who needs science to know that one can learn via any modality? Do you not know from personal experience?
I’m in IT and that’s a career that requires constant learning. I used to only learn via books. Now tech is changing too fast for books. I’ve turned a great deal to learning from YouTube tutorials or Udemy video courses.
In addition to my audiobooks for pleasure, I like to listen to histories. If I needed to study a topic to pass a test or write a thesis, I don’t think I’d use audiobooks. But I have increased my knowledge and understanding of history via audiobooks.
I also learn by doing, of course. Learning in isolation of doing isn’t nearly as effective. And I learn from teaching. As I’m about to do today when I teach a technical workshop. The professionals in my class will be learning from watching and listening to me and asking questions.
I see nothing that reading has a lock on. It’s a great venue for learning, multi most used. But even as I am a person who can learn very well via reading, others not so much. Why should learning be withheld from them just because reading itself is a stumbling block?
And none of this applies to entertainment outside of childhood. Sure it’s my opinion, but it’s superior to your opinion lol! You are deluding yourself if you think your vampire love story book reading is making you a better person more than if you were listening to them or watching them on tv
