Draw from experience v. learn from experience
I would like to ask about the difference between "draw from the experience" and "learn from the experience" in Einstein's word.
"most importantfact we draw from experience as to the distribution of matter the velocities of the stars."

There's not a huge difference. draw to me implies more of a process of reasoning than learn . eg if a child touches a hot stove, it immediately learns not to do that again, but there is little or no reasoning involved.
