but I disagree. I think it shoud be:
"Sharing knowledge is the most fundamental act of friendship. Because it is a way you can give something, yet gain an invaluable amount."
But shouldn't a 'fundamental act of friendship' be selfless? If you give without losing, or give while gaining something yourself, where's the sacrifice? If you yourself gained from it, wouldn't you give to your worst enemy?
I have been an academic and I found that "If you want to learn something: teach it."
Because it requires that you organise your thoughts more than you had before and have every little detail at your fingertips.
This is extremely true
