Sure, and as you know I am all for reading and learning and everything you describe.
The ‘rule’ should be applied when you are actually trying to ship something, when you have to concentrate on your work.
I didn’t say it was rocket science, but it functions as a nice reminder.

For sure, while you consuming, you’re not producing business value. But without reading / listining/ watching about new stuff, you will also loose productivity and competitors will overtake. New technologies can also give you a perfomance boost. So if you don’t know them, you also have a problem with your productivity.
What is it worth learning about a technologie or methodology without trying to use it? As much as I enjoy consuming, I also like to get my hand dirty and actuallly try new things out in business.
