you need a balance between both actually

Experience dominates over knowledge.

You can know ALL about something, but without even experiencing it, it wouldn't be as you expected.

You do need to walk a good line between the two of them, because there's two ends of the scale.

There's the book smart, but street dumb and naive group, who get all they know from books, or videos, or games.
Then there's the experience based on pure instinct. "Don't think, feel." However, instincts and experiences can be incorrect.

So you need experience to temper a knowlege that is constantly improving and remains open.
You both wish to improve yourself, are more curious, and as well as assimilating new experiences, you're tempering them with new knowledge.
