Just a quick question to clarify my last question - Thank you.

Hey everyone, just a quick question to help me clarify my previous question please.

'Q) What do you think of the Physics lesson?
A) It wasn't as fun as the Biology lessons but we learnt so much more.'

I believe the 'we learnt so much much more' part of the answer sentence describes the Physics lesson rather than the Biology lessons (i.e. So much more was learnt in the Physics lesson)

Another words the answer actually means:

'Q) What do you think of the Physics lesson?
A) It wasn't as fun as the Biology lessons but we learnt so much more [in the Physics lesson].

Am I correct in saying the answer does not mean:

Q) What do you think of the Physics lesson?
A) It wasn't as fun as the Biology lessons but we learnt so much more [in the Biology lessons].

Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.
