"knowledge" (possibly false) acquired so long ago I don't remember
acquiring it.

If acquiring a long term memory requires a structural change that
would imply that C. Elegans, which has a completely fixed neural map
(both within an individual over time and between individuals of the
same sex), would be incapable of learning.

I would have to look it up, but I'm pretty sure C. Elegans has been
seen to learn.
