"Learning means gaining knowledge which is different from gaining experience."

How is it different?

"The point of the holographic/robot humans is that in this possible reality they represent humans, it is not just that they are lookalikes/actalikes they are what we know as other humans. The whole point is that they are completely indistinguishable, by robot human I did not mean that they have the skin of humans and are robots underneath I mean they are completely physically human but they as I said "are not trying to achieve ends at all"."

How would you know that they don't act?

And what about this: There are animals that look like sheep and are indeed sheep. They act.
I gained this knowledge from from experience.

What can you or others say against it? "Sheep act" is certainly not a priori. Is it different from "humans act"?

"I presume that that's directed at those who think it is a priori?"

Yes.
