No I think we tend to see the word translated learned similar to us aquiring knowledge rather than demonstrating knowledge. If someone is given a test or an appraisal it doesn't per se teach them anything but rather it measures their knowledge. In the same way the law demonstrated the righteousness of Christ through His obedience rather than teaching Him something new.
No the writer of Hebrews wasn't just as Paul was not on the road to gnostism by saying it was the will of the Father. It what people try to draw from inferrance that gets them into trouble!

Sure. "Peter" must've been John Mark's evil twin inserting "learn" where none was needed. :-)
So was the writer of Hebrews on the road to open theology? Christ "learned obedience" and was "made perfect".

Righteousness is not earned. And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. Now not for his sake only was it written that it was credited to him, and for our sake also, to whom it will be credited, as those who believe in Him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

Grace isn't "earned"... else it's not grace.

The Righteous One *learned* obedience.
