But in contrast to the protagonist, all that information and knowledge amounts to nothing... 'Hiccup' (the protagonist) doesn't know anything about the theory of dragons. But he acquires a more intuitive knowledge through interaction, and engagement, honing 'skills' and 'practices' based on that. This ultimately proves to be more useful, and superior in the overall scheme of things.
Perhaps the movie is a wider metaphor for the way we learn: we shouldn't just accept what we've been told, but to make more intuitive judgements based on what we feel and see. This, it seems, is the more fulfilling and rewarding path - according to the narrative.
