Of course it is. If buddhism weren't knowledge and hadn't to be learned then the buddha of the suttas would not have given teachings and there would be no suttas transmitted by tradition.
However learning the language of buddhism and valid knowledge of it is one thing but another is to either validate or disprove it in order to attain valid knowledge of its appropriateness or inappropriateness.
How does one validate or disprove the linguistic expressions of buddhism? Through direct perception and valid inference.
