I disagree with you there. Experience and knowledge must balance each other out and cannot exist alone. I may have programmed a dozen sites, but until I can do so and comply with web standards my experience is for nought. I can also know every potential code but never have made a live site, but it doesn't mean my first site may not work perfectly.

We learn through education and applying the education. Even an experienced programmer started off with no knowledge and no sites at some point.
