Yeah, discover just lasts the moment you stumble upon it. Once you sit down to learn the syntax and basics, you're learning the language.
- discover - find unexpectedly or during a search.
- learn - gain or acquire knowledge of or skill in (something) by study, experience, or being taught.
I don't think anyone is reading the title and thinking "Huh, I can learn _all_ of Go in just 5 minutes?!". The time is an indicator that you'll just scratch the surface, not become a master gopher.
