What's the difference between watching a television programme called
"Useless Celebrity Factoids" for half an hour and spending the same
amount of time studying for an exam involving useful information where
you might also need to show some level of understanding of the subject
matter?

If that's not comparing similar measures of information, what's the
difference between studying for an exam in a subject whose
prerequisites are familiar to you and studying for one in an
unfamiliar field, both for the same amount of time?
