I’m petty sure that when he talks about the damage of knowledge to intelligence he doesn’t mean that the intelligence shouldn’t have this knowledge in generation time. Rather, the issue in training—which you may ver well call a skill issue—is that by default local ad hoc explanations create superficial predictive success and get in the way of more general explanations. So the issue isn’t having less knowledge, but rather having less early memorization.
