Consider that the beings are older than our universe, and that every generation discovers something new about the universe, and the education system revolves around teaching what has been discovered. One person can not read every word in every book, that is correct. But say the culture of these beings is simply... discovery. All that has been discovered could be simplified and taught, and as a new discovery is made it is added to the curriculum.
I am talking about beings who's intelligence and mind power is inconceivable to us.
I do not believe what you say about complete knowledge being a fallacy to be true. Tell me, if your life span was long enough, what would stop you from being able to read every word in every book?
there are only so many seconds since the begining
and altho it may seem infinite ,its not
theres only so much time available to learn
and it turns out , when you looks at it
that its far ,far less , then the info available
even if, since birth , you learned a new fact every second
you wouldnt have enough time to learn all the facts
