Connectivism and LaaN

Mohamed Amine Chatti sketches a proposal of 'Learning as a Network' (LaaN). But I disagree with three of these outright and agree with one only provisionally:
"The LaaN view is built upon four premises: - Knowledge and learning are two sides of the same coin. - Knowledge and learning are fundamentally social in nature. - Knowledge is in the network, or even more knowledge is the network. - Learning is a matter of knowledge networking within knowledge ecologies." I think knowledge and learning are different: learning si the reshaping of our network, while knowledge is what it 'feels' like to be shaped a certain way (you can't not recognize...). Neither knowledge nor learning are fundamentally social; they require networks, not societies. Learning isn't 'networking' - it is subjecting oneself to a series of experiences (sometimes within a network) in order to grow new connections.
